About me

I'm possibly the last remaining artist in the games industry who is still doing what he was doing at the very start, and for the most part enjoying it almost as much now as I did then.
 
I'm a pixel pusher.
 
But I like to think I'm more than just that; I'm a game designer, storyboard artist, copywriter and Graphics manager.
 
I've worn almost every hat in the games industry with the exception of coder.
 
I'm an avid gamer with a passion for the industry and a strong belief in game play over technology.
 
I have been tempted over the last 25 years to leave the industry and do something else, but I'm still here more than 240 games later standing on my soapbox and howling in the wilderness about the state of the industry and how something must be done.
 
I'm no guru with an answer for everything, I just know my strengths and weaknesses and play to them. If you don't want the answer then don't ask the question.
I speak as I find and have no time for egos, divas or prima-donnas. Life's too short, development time is shorter and I see no reason to waste either.
I believe in what I do and I think I do it well. I'm still here and people still employ me.
 
I'm the last dinosaur but I'm not ready for a museum just yet.
