Porous Studios?  I’m not sure why it is plural…maybe it will reproduce and there will be a litter of studios running amok.  It is basically an umbrella for me to design under with the intention of shielding myself due to a persistent, irrational fear of being closely watched and studied.

Personally, I am a wayward almost-architect reinventing himself into a GAME DESIGNER and DIGITAL ARTIST.  My architectural past has consisted of 10 years of mainly drafting and administrative duties.  No matter how I have tried to spice up the description of my very nondescript work history it just ends up plain boring.  I was never the lead designer on any project.  Hell, I wasn’t even a designer in a minor function.  The few occasions that I did try to design resulted in me getting my hand slapped then summarily redirected to the paperwork, meeting minutes, emails and phone calls that endlessly awaited me.  That is all behind me.

Now I am starting over.  I am designing, creating and most importantly learning.  I would love to trade all the time I spent w/ my head buried in CAD software to instead have it buried in Photoshop and Illustrator and 3dsMax.  I can’t do that, so here I am…teaching myself from the gluttonous amount of resources to be found and enjoying every minute of it.

I am open to discussing any opportunities regarding game design, conceptual design, graphic design or some other “insert prefix here” -design.  You can contact me even if you just want to talk about design or scrap about my work.

There’s a lot yet to learn but that is what is so great about the process.
