Welcome

I am a passionate 3d artist who specializes in  modeling/texturing and sculpting..

9 years ago (as of 08/24/2008) I decided to ditch my corporate job and find myself a career in the arts. My initial estimate was, "it will only take six months!". Yeah right...

My interests lie in modeling & texturing & I am proficient/have extensive knowledge in: Mari, Substance Painter,  Zbrush, Maya, 3ds Max, Mudbox, and Photoshop.
