I am a student at Huddersfield University (UK) studying Computer Games Design; yes, that is a real course and yes, it’s great! I’ve just finished my placement year at Canalside Studios and we’re currently making a game for Xbox Live Arcade called YoHo Kablammo which won a contract with Microsoft in a recent XNA competition. My role within the company was primarily a 3D Environment Artist, but being a small company I also lent my hand to 2D work and interface design. However my ultimate goal is to become a 3D Artist in either computer games or architectural visualisation.

In my spare time I can usually be found on my computer creating something or be found outside tinkering with my car! I have a 1973 MG Midget which is currently undergoing an engine transplant, a 1.8 VVC K-series engine. That might not sound like much these days but hopefully it will be outputting 160+bhp which in a car which weighs under 700kg should make for an interesting drive! More information about this can be found at my MG Midget blog… 

Prior to learning to drive I used to spend a lot of time creating cars for GTA3 & VC mods. All of these can be found on my GTA page as I’ve decided to take my old GTA site down and concentrate on my portfolio and some tutorials.
