Coca Cola Superbowl Commercial

I am currently working full time as a freelancer again after a couple of years as Head of Art Department at VFX Studio Goodbye Kansas Studios. Prior to that I spent a year at Industrial Light and Magic's Art Department in London with Star Wars, Avengers, Beauty and the Beast plus more. Before freelancing I worked full time at Framestore in London as a Concept Artist on several Hollywood feature films and commercials like Wrath of the Titans, World War Z, Edge of Tomorrow, RIPD naming a few.
At Framestore Commercials I worked as a Senior Modeler, Texture Artist and Character Designer. As a freelancer, I’ve created toys for McFarlane Toys, Walking Dead and characters for various upcoming movies and games like Killzone 4, Forza Horison 2, Payday 2, The Drowning and other unannounced games.

Besides working with movies and commercials I worked with games for more than 10 years on platforms like PSP, PS2, PS3, XBOX, XBOX 360, PS4 and Windows. I’ve worked on titles such as Battlefield Bad Company, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Mirror’s Edge and Need for Speed. I’ve worked with 3D-engines such as Gamebryo, Frostbite, Unreal Engine and Unity.
