I'm always looking for new work, so let me know if you see something you like.
A few random little bits about me:
l was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. After a few little worldwide detours, I ended up happily in Big D. Don't let my plain and nerdy exterior fool you. Behind these glasses hides a girl with an obsession for all things bright, colorful and fun. By day, I work as a 2d/3d Artist for online game giant, Zynga. By night, I tinker with whatever tickles my fancy in my little home studio. However, like a lot of working artists, I have had a long list of random gigs that have shaped me as an artist. A list of creative outlets include jewelry creation and design, plush animals, designer bed linens, couture wedding invitations, custom fabric design, and 3d effects for kids shows and indie films. All of that doesn't even include that cheap logo your mom's aunt's boss needed in a week. Honestly, if it pays, I'll figure out how to make it, and I'll definitely enjoy taking that money.
Well, Thats pretty much me.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Now if you will excuse me, I have to go feed my fake online sheep...
