Personal Statement

I’ve been a gamer ever since owning my first NES, and have always had an interest in art. I’ve had a passion for games creation for several years, from my first levels in Duke Nukem 3D through to making props, etc for game mods.

I am proficient with Photoshop, and have a good knowledge of 3DS Max. I always like to push myself and produce work that I'm proud of and am always eager to learn new tools, techniques and skills.

Work Experience

Traveller’s Tales  –  June 2008 – Present
Currently working as a Junior Artist.

3D Creation Studio / Jester Interactive Publishing  –  May - September 2007
I was responsible for modelling and texturing 3d props and objects in 3ds max/Photoshop for the sequel to TT SuperBikes: Real Road Racing (PS2). Then I’d export them ready to be used in-game. I also had to amend tracks, and also place props in them.
I also worked on several textures for Project Gotham Racing 4 whilst there.

Classic Screen Manufacturing Ltd  –  2005 - 2007
My main roles were graphic design and web design work.

Game Modification Experience

Eternal Damnation  –  www.resurrection-studios.com
Eternal Damnation is a zombie mod for Postal 2. It was published as part of ‘Postal Fudge Pack’ and more recently ‘Postal 10th Anniversary Edition’ – both available from Running with Scissors.

My role on the project was lead texture artist. I was responsible for most of the games new textures, and also the modelling of various props and several weapons.

Interests & Hobbies

Obviously one of my main interests is gaming and when I’m not playing games I can be found modding them. I also enjoy photography, films, books, comedy and going out with friends.
