2D & 3D Artist & Animator

Summary

I am an illustrator, designer, 3D modeller and aspiring animator. I work traditionally but more most of my work is completed digitally. I have experience in working with various 2D and 3D programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Maya, Zbrush, Mudbox and Nuke.
I studied animation and digital media at Nanyang Polytechnic in Singapore. Several years later I completed my Bachelors degree in Illustration at Dundee University (Scotland, UK) and I will be graduating later this year with a Masters degree in Animation and VFX.
Being a lover of stories and the written word, my work often has a touch of fantasy and the otherworldly. And not to mention my twisted sense of humour. I am always working at being more disciplined and passionate for this work. I don't like giving up on something no matter how much I might want to. It's my dream to live and work here.
Please private message/email me if you have enquiries about my work.
I hope you enjoy what you see and I thank you for visiting my portfolio site.

Experience

  • Independent Artist at Freelance
    United Kingdom
    July 2007 - Present

    As a freelance artist I offer art and design services on a contractual basis. I am often commissioned to create artwork, illustrations and to design branding products such as logos and business cards for various individuals or companies.

    • Recent notable clients include MGA Ltd, Scotland and Vision Mechanics, Scotland.

    • During the summer 2015 I co-organized a weekly art gathering called Draw Along Dundee. It was a networking project that was meant to bring different art professionals living in Dundee together in a friendly and casual setting.

    • Since 2015, I have regularly participated at local arts and crafting events here as an independent artist selling my artwork. I have also opened and operated an Etsy shop to sell my prints and handmade products since 2016.

    • In February 2016, I exhibited and sold my art at the Parallax Art Fair in London where it was well received.

  • Work Experience (Intern) at Industrial Light & Magic
    London, United Kingdom
    October 2016 - October 2016

    I participated in a week long work experience at ILM London where I had the opportunity to sit down with artists from various production departments. Occasionally, I assisted the company runners with their various duties.

  • Illustrator at Vision Mechanics
    Edinburgh, United Kingdom
    August 2015 - October 2015

    I illustrated an accompanying booklet/comic for the company's Dragon Quest outdoor virtual reality theatre event at Monikie Park.
