BACKGROUND
As with every other artist, I've started from a young age. I started really developing my skill during high school at W. G. Enloe, a magnet school renown for their arts program. There, I learned that art is a constant learning experience. Everything can be improved, done better, and compounded upon. Art takes a lifetime of exploring in order to even begin to understand.
EDUCATION
2000-2004, W.G. Enloe High School Focus in music and fine arts 2004-Present, North Carolina State University Pursuing a BS degree in Animal Science 2008-2009, Wake Technical Community College Took classes in Advertising and Graphic Design 2009-Present, Art Institute of Pittsburg Pursuing a BA in Game Art and Design
When I first started college, I completed pre-veterinary courses in preparation for vet school. Well, vet school is really expensive and harder to get into than med school. Oh and the starting salary for a job that requires 16 hr days is 25k. So instead of being a starving artist, I would be a starving vet with 100k in student loans. So I started taking Graphic Design courses at a local community college, but that wasn't artistically challenging. So now I'm happy and challenged with getting a BA in game art design! What I really want to work on is 3D modeling of characters for video games; to make them as realistic as possible.
