Artist Statement

I'm Ethan, a digital media artist based in the Bay Area. When working traditionally, graphite and charcoal are my preferred media. When working digitally, I use Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Illustrator, and Blender. These programs allow me to design and produce characters and environments that are fully rendered both digitally and traditionally. I work in these mediums because I love illustrating and designing different characters and worlds. I love illustrating stories and expressing myself through my art.  As an artist, I’m always working to improve my skills so that my messages and stories can be conveyed as clearly as possible. I’ve enjoyed learning more about 3D Modeling and sculpting, and have begun dedicating more time to becoming more proficient in Blender. I’ve also used Adobe Aero to make videos in augmented reality by building environments with open-source 3D models. I’m interested in creating artworks that can be viewed through augmented realities and crafting unique experiences while developing my 3D modeling and animation skills.
