i joined in 2006-- but haven't really used the site for self promotion (mainly joined to post comments, etc..)
..recently, i decided to start making an active attempt at sharing my artwork, as i'm looking to be more involved in an art community (i have a website, but was looking to interact more with a community)
as for me: i'm an Art Director at a video game company (THQ/Volition); i oversee/manage/direct 44 awesomely talented artist's on a sci-fi/action shooter game that's set to announce at this year's E3 convention (june 15th -- in L.A.); i've been working on this game for over 2.5 yrs now, and the release date is set for March 2011 (after E3, i'll be able to announce what i'm working on!)
during my past, i've been a gallery artist, graphic designer, animator, freelance illustrator, digital artist for feature films (worked at Dreamworks, Sony, etc) and a video game artist. i've been in this digital industry since 1990 and have been working professionally for 18 yrs now.
what really satisfies me is GREAT art (be it digital/traditional.. photography, etc).. i paint at nights (when i come home from work) to quench my own creative ambitions.. and my artistic desire for learning is inspired by all of you artist's out there!
anyway-- just wanted to say hello to you all, and say that i'm looking forward to chatting with you online.. let me know if you're out there!
cheers,
