| Bio:
|
|
I began a career in comic books at age 17 with a book called Creed, and was recognized by a few magazines as something special in that industry, so I moved to California... did some freelance for mod games and GBA development, and blew my cash on a small satellite which I currently reside in floating several miles above the earths surface doing "doodles" all day. I've fashioned together a small communication device with a potato, an Etch-A-Sketch and a really souped-up Game Boy, which is how I'm sending this transmission now.

| Inspiration:
|
|
Mostly people... or what I remember of them. You and your quirky little behaviors. If you were here now, I would grab your cheeks and make little monkey noises.

The first Tomb Raider soundtrack, Yoji Shinkawa, Shirow Masamune, Android, and... well... just a whole lot of the guys at Conceptart.org.

| Why
I Got into the Industry: |
