I have spent my entire life surrounded by art and music. I grew up playing piano and guitar and avoiding much of my schoolwork by burying my head in a sketchbook. After exploring some safer career options while in college I realized that I would only be content doing something artistic. I have done a lot of traditional artwork with hand-drawn portraits, paintings, and illustrations with various mediums over the years; however, I enjoy digital art and game development the most. For the past 8 years I have worked on a number of small games and projects with computer science associates and garnered considerable experience in the field of Game Development. As the sole artist for Derelict Gaming, I am responsible for all characters, environments, items, visual effects, UI elements, promotional pieces, and even the audio effects/music.
