Glynn Smith’s Summary

Hello there!

Thankyou for your interest in my awesome skills and abilities.

Here's the stuff you're probably after:

I love making things. I started out as a graphic designer, which has branched out to a multitude of creative outlets - 3D CG art, music, photography, ballet. I'm kidding about the ballet, but I do look great in leggings.

I work as intensly as I can, generally staying up late past my bedtime, working on whatever project I'm gripped by.

Currently working as a freelancer in a variety of fields, I couldn't be happier drawing up designs, building videogame art and trying to get my head around this new camera I've got.

I spend a vast amount of time working for various online, creative communities (Forum Leader at: Game-Artist.Net and CGTalk.com - Administrator and Founder of Birdhive.net).

I also make a cracking cup of tea.

-High Quality Texturing
