Zane Wickman

Artist, writer, all-around creative person. 10 years in the video game industry (Quality Assurance, Research & Development, and as a Jr. Game Designer); worked with celebrities and big name Developers. Self-taught visual effects artist; mainly to help a friend on a music video project (haven't done any visual effects work in years). The New York Times use a piece of spurt-of-the-moment fan-art I created for the Coast 2 Cast AM talk show radio program (back when Art Bell was host). Lots of freelance work: I was commissioned to do artwork on hair-combs, which were sold at the 1995 Super Bowl; and commissioned to draw step-by-step illustrations in a series of barber books. Created and sold tattoo artwork to tattoo artists. There's tons more, lots of jobs that utilized my talents for their own gain. Today I'm focusing on my own projects: dusting-off and updating the more promising ones (that I shelved), creating new and fascinating ones, etc. I'm an asset in any brainstorming session; and can cook-up a winner of a complete-concept on the fly. I love creating flushed-out characters and worlds in any arena.
