Hello, I am both a traditional & digital artist, illustrator, designer (web and graphic), photographer. video editor, animator, programmer, developer, music producer and sound engineer.
Brief bio:
I been drawing since early childhood (both my parents are artists) and I progressed into the world of digital art at around 7 years old (the Commodore 64 days!)
I later got into digital art on the AMIGA using DPaint and this is where I first start creating basic animation.
As time progressed my parents bought an Apple MAC (with Photoshop 3.0!) and I spent my free time after school scanning my drawings and developing my art.
Simultaneously I also became involved in music production. I spent many years developing my music skills in favour of heart and worked within the music industry.
Luckily, my art and design skills came in handy as music releases all required packaging + online and offline promotion.
This allowed me to develop my art skills further pushed me back into visual art.
I have been working in the video games industry for the past 2 years and I am (slowly) learning 3D graphics and games development in my spare time.
I am also getting to grips with Photography, Filming and Video Editing (which is proving beneficial to all fields of my creativity).
