I want what everyone wants, to do what I love for a career! My goal is to become an Environment Artist, one good enough for a AAA studio!

I could always draw and I knew I wanted to do something with it, even after I failed art in school! The truth is I had no idea what I could do, I didn't have money or go to a fancy school, I spent all my time making pictures on Microsoft Paint or drawing in my sketchbook. But then it happened, I was lucky enough to be taken on as an apprentice 3D Artist and that is where I found out I was hooked on building worlds and materials for games!
