Anime and fantasy style artwork and illustrations influenced by eastern design concepts and principles. Ian has shown his RL art on prim for over 12 years in second life. He has had galleries and shows at most major art sims and events and has been a virtual curator himself, showing 4 SL artists a month. Just last year he had a RL exhibition at a local gallery which went well and is hoping to display at comicons next. He is currently working on a fantasy board game, created from scratch. Illustrating all board pieces, cards and character art. The real challenge will be making 3D printed models for characters and monsters.  3D design is a new challenge but one which will also be shown in second life in a year or so.  Ian is looking for a benefactor to allow him time to work on this project and not have to take on commissions so much..  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bushside/204/157/51
