Jacob McKee-Wright
Reformed Glassblower now Lead Artist at Chaos Theory Games
Sydney, Australia
I am a globe-trotting prop and environment artist who's been making games since 2014 and working with CG since 2010. I am a firm believer in environmental storytelling, each asset takes time so they should all add to the non-verbal narrative. My background has lead me through fine arts, philosophy, and architecture and I feel games are an art form like no other. They reach such a large part of the global community, explicitly as interactive experiences. We work in a formative medium able to shape the opinions of the public or simply and delightfully make them roar with laughter.
Let's make them think and laugh.
