For Hiring: email me at mdudra@gmail.com (I am happy to provide industry references)
For 15 years I have worked on a variety of projects, including: video games (major consoles and handheld devices), websites, a children's show, and a number of other commercial art projects. My experience is mainly digital (with special attention to 3D), but I am not afraid to put pencil to paper. The environments I've worked in have included: tight deadlines, self-management, receiving and offering feedback, adherence to different art styles, adapting to established production pipelines, and working remotely from a home office. To see my full portfolio, search my name in Google for my blog.
Additionally, I am always open to learning, teaching, and critiquing art. It's always a pleasure to just talk about it, too!
