Senior Digital Artist at Industrial Light + Magic
San Francisco Bay Area
I'm always looking for challenging projects. I love everything about character creation, both realistic and cartoon: organic modeling, texturing/shading, facial rigging, animation. I consider myself a very easy going guy and make friends very easily at any work place. I love fine arts in general and I can spend several hours reading art history books or visiting museums and galleries.
