Freelance Asset Artist

Senior Asset Artist / 20 yrs

Hire Me
I have 16 years experience in the CG industry; in VFX, animation and games, primarily as an asset artist, character artist and generalist.

I started out working as an asset artist on 3D animation projects. Since my strengths lie in my ability to work in any art style, within deadlines and within technical requirements, I ended up moving onto supervising asset modeling, texturing, shading and grooming in 2007.

To satiate my hunger for artwork I became a freelance artist once more in 2018 and have been working on many different projects for many different companies, ranging from animation and VFX studios to game studios.
