About
I love what I do.
CG is the only discipline that requires more than a cursory knowledge of most applied and fine arts. Drawing, painting, sculpture and photography all go into this unique field.
Add in that I’m working with highly talented people and I don’t need to wear a tie…well what more can I say? -
