Ahoy thar! I'm Ray! I'm primarily an illustrator and character designer but I've been working on improving my pixel art and animation skills. I have an associates degree in Commercial Graphics, and my program was Animation.Currently I am a Tier 3 IT technician but I would like to find my way into the video game industry. I am part of a 2 man group working on some small indie games as well. I cannot wait to be able to share those projects but they are far from completion on the coding side of things.When I'm not at work or doing art at home, I am selling prints and stickers at local pop culture conventions!I love to help others get started on their creative journeys so please feel free to reach out to me if you need help finding resources!Also I'm available for hire!
