We'd love to hear from you. Send us a text!
The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.
The conversation with Daniel Harkness continues as he revisits being that talented young artist, who had to take a major detour, before we getting back in touch with art again. We also compare notes on gigs, motivation and the joys of working in a well-oiled team.
Please enlighten and treat yourself with Daniel's excellent writing on being an artist in VFX!
I also speculate what the future will hold for VFX artists, specifically asset artists, as the economic foundation for our world and work is shifting beneath our feet. Enjoy!
