- About Me
- I'm finishing up a fine arts degree in printmaking after 6 years out of high school. I took a year off after high school, went to a design school and studied industrial and interaction design for 2.5 years, and now I am at UMASS finishing my art degree in printmaking and I am glad that I went with fine art as opposed to design. Printmaking gets my creative juices going much better than design did, although both are creative in their own way of course.
I think pretty hard about game design and MMOs in particular, and most of my thoughts are about how they need to change to develop into a genre that can be celebrated for its innovation. I cling to the belief that games need to always be taking a step forward just like the history of art, referring to the past, but challenging the definition of the medium. Games are still in their infancy, but I don't think that many developers see it that way. They don't see the fine art through the product.
Hopefully I can help someday.
- How did you hear about GAX?

Please join up if you want to d… Continue

I don’t know which edition, but next time I’m at his house ill grab a flick of the illustration.
How much did harry potter rip it off and make it (for lack of a better term) gay?
I was drooling over the new blade runner box set yesterday and I saw that picture of Deckard hanging from the roof and thought “that would make a bad ass display pic” then I remembered you have that.
And I like your picture. I haven't got the Bladerunner DvD yet...that new directors cut one.
