My name is Paul Jarvis and I'm a game designer, an illustrator and an animator to name a few. I've done it all and I love every bit of it, so it's hard to choose.

Game design is my greatest passion. No, seriously! It's something that has been with me all my life, and it's never left. I've picked up a lot of great knowledge along the way, and it's helped me to be at my best when I'm working on something new. I grew up with games so I have a special soft spot for the graphics of yesteryear, which this site proudly shows -- but I'm no one-trick pony.

I'm a versatile guy. I've done traditional illustration, comics, 3D modelling, animating and rigging -- the works. I love learning new things and adapting my workflow to fit with whatever tools I'm using too, so even easing my way into a new toolset is satisfying. Having come from a background in indie game design, I also have a pretty nice working knowledge of programming.

I recently graduated with a degree in Digital Arts from Bowling Green State University in May 2009 where my focus was 3D animation and game design. Since then, I've been funneling my efforts into starting a career doing what I do best: dreaming up new and exciting experiences and showing them off in a way that leaves a lasting impression.
