A couple of weeks ago my drawing class finished up. It was quite a lot of fun to draw so much again: a great break from the computer. Here’s most of the drawings I did over the term, including pictures of my mid-term and end-of-term reviews.
A couple days ago Brian Riggsbee, a game developer and Left 4 Dead 2 mapper, interviewed me about The Final Cut and my game development history. He did a fantastic job with the blog post of the interview on his website (images included!) I am having an issue posting the link to the interview here, [...]
At the beginning of 2013 I started taking a basic drawing class at Portland State University as a way to rediscover my long forgotten drawing ability.

Well… I just got myself a very awesome World Building job back in the game development industry, on a potentially very awesome title. It looks like I’ll be putting my UDK project on hold, but that’s a good thing! I’m going to start trying to use the 1080p camera on my phone to start creating [...]
I’ve been distracting myself lately with an unnamed UDK project. I will be posting work in progress screenshots within this post for inspiration and personal use. It is a project a very talented friend of mine, Alex Yao, started a while back. I haven’t done much with the project thus far, but I have recently [...]
