Aspire to Inspire
I remember growing up I would look at the illustrations on the latest game informer magazine and wish I could do something like that, or dream of making the kind of games that I enjoy. My name is Dan Maynard and I am still on my journey majoring Illustration at Columbus College of Art and Design. I spend more time with a pencil in my hand than with out as I am always sketching out ideas trying to leave none behind, working deep into the night with my peers pushing each other’s work while struggling to stay awake, and spending my Christmas cash to go to events such as Illuxcon then keeping in touch with artists in the field. One day it will be my art inspiring.
