    For the past 18 years, I’ve worked for many different film and game companies, both full-time and contract positions. Most recently, I worked as a lead artist and art director at 5th Planet Games, working on multiple titles, including the company's flagship game, Dawn of the Dragons. My responsibilities involved creating a wide range of in-game assets (such as avatars, items, maps, environments, and animations), managing a team of 5 to 10 contract artists located all over the world, searching for and recruiting new artists for that team, and refining / cleaning up the assets they created to ensure they were game-ready. I worked with the company's own in-house IP, as well as licensed IP during our partnership with Geek & Sundry.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have my work featured at art shows in Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Malibu, and the surrounding Los Angeles Areas. For me, the coolest part of the creative process is the odd ability to take a simple, abstract concept, and watch it build its own identity as we just, kinda, help it along its way. If you have an idea or campaign that you aren't quite sure how to approach, I can help with everything from the initial concept until the day the final product shows up at your door. Along with photography, I also do Video. I direct, shoot, and edit with focus on: -Music -Product -Interview -Single / 3 Camera Live Show / Scripted -Editing -SFX -Motion Graphics -Sound Design Programs: | PS | After | Effects | Premiere | As much as I love high concept compositing projects, I have also been a set designer and prop master for close to 10 years. I adore creating real world and surreal environments to be captured in camera. Set design art available for album covers/videos, book covers, and commercial advertising. Still on the fence? Wait till you meet my team. Along my journey I've been fortunate enough to build some of the dearest relationships, with some of the most insanely creative individuals working in the industry today. Weather its: -Emmy winning Make-Up -NAHA master quality Hair Styling -Custom Stitched Costumes -Hand Made Props -Television ready Special Effects Make-up, Prosthetics, and props We are always into something fantastic, imaginative, and over the top, so feel free to fully express your creative vision. We will make it happen. Well, that about does it, I think we covered all our bases. Please feel free to message any time, I reply promptly and maintain a clear line of communication throughout all stages of my projects. My main goal is to ensure you walk away with the end result you came here for…or better. Let's explore your idea today, and get it into production tomorrow. Its been a pleasure, -Duke
