Saya adalah seorang penduduk asli dan bagian dari Suku Dakota (Suku Sioux). Kedua orangtua saya juga merupakan Suku Dakota, begitu juga kakek-nenek, dan pendahulu Saya. Sesuai dengan tradisi Suku Dakota/Lakota, ketika kami memperkenalkan diri, kami wajib untuk memperkenalkan juga asal muasal keturunan dan suku kami, orangtua kami, dll.
Kumpulan kami awalnya berasal dari area Minnesota, namun di tahun 1862, ‘Pemberontakan Minnesota’ menyebabkan kami untuk melarikan diri ke arah bagian Dakota atau masuk ke Kanada. Di sinilah Saya lahir, lebih tepatnya di Manitoba. Saya telah menjadi Character Artist profesional selama lebih dari 20 tahun, mengerjakan baik video games dan acara televisi. Saya merasa terhormat bisa bekerja di studio-studio seperti Mainframe Entertainment, Snowblind Studios (yang sekarang menjadi WB Games), Signal Studios, Unity Technologies, dan Turn 1- Studios (sebuah studio dari Microsoft).
Saya telah menyelesaikan proyek seperti Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Ascend: Hand of Kul, dan Forza Motorsport 7. Selain itu, Saya juga mengerjakan seri televisi dan direct-to-video seperti Action man, Reboot, Barbie and the Nutrcracker, Spider-man MTV Series, dan masih banyak lainnya.
Saya juga merupakan seorang yang belajar seni murni secara otodidak, dengan mengeksplorasi genre-genre seperti: ilustrasi, pahatan, ukiran, lukisan, dll..
Saya merasa terhomat, untuk bisa memenangkan posisi pertama di First Nation Art Contest yang diadakan di Kanada pada tahun 1995, untuk kategori lukisan akrilik. Saya juga bekerja untuk perusahaan sablon dan percetakan, selain menjadi seorang artist.
Proyek pribadi yang saya kerjakan, kebanyakan merupakan lukisan akrilik, terinspirasi dari mimpi dan ajaran yang Saya lakukan dan alami sesuai dengan kepercayaan dan kisah-kisah tradisional Suku Dakota/Lakota.
Saya juga sedang mengerjakan graphic novel buatan sendiri yang berjudul “SpiritWolf: Birth of a Legend”. Sebuah buku komik yang terinspirasi dari legenda pahlawan Native American yang Saya buat, di mana ia bertugas untuk melindungi Oyate (masyarakat)-nya. Pahlawan ini dapat berpindah alam dari alam fisik dan juga alam roh. Ia juga harus mempelajari bagaimana berinteraksi, merasakan, menyentuh, dan juga hidup sebagai manusia biasa. Sehingga petualangannya dapat dirasakan oleh kita sebagai pembaca.
I am First Nation/People of the Dakota (Sioux). My parents are also both Dakota, as are my grandparents, and so on. By Dakota/Lakota tradition, when introducing yourself, we are required to introduce the tribe we are from and our parents, etc..
My People are originally from the Minnesota area, but in 1862, the ‘Minnesota Uprising’ caused us to flee into both parts of the Dakotas and into Canada. So this is where I was born, in particularly, Manitoba. I have been a professional character artist for the past 20 years, working on both video game titles and television/direct-to-videos. I have had the privilege of working in studios such as Mainframe Entertainment, Snowblind Studios (which became WB Games), Signal Studios, Unity Technologies and finally, Turn 10 Studios (a Microsoft Studio).
I have shipped titles such as Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Ascend: Hand of Kul, and Forza Motorsport 7. And worked on tv series and direct-to-videos, such as: Action man, Reboot, Barbie and the Nutcracker, Spider-man MTV series, among others.
I am also a self-taught fine artist, exploring many genres such as illustrating, sculpting, carving, painting, etc..
I was honored, in 1995, to have won first place in a First Nations Art Contest, in Canada, for an acrylic painting. I have also worked for both screen printing and paper printing companies, as the artist, as well.
The personal work I create, is mainly with acrylic paints, with themes heavily based on the dreams and teachings I have learned and experienced within the Dakota/Lakota traditional beliefs and lore.
I have also been working on a self-made graphic novel called, “SpiritWolf: Birth of a Legend”. A comic book based on a Native American legend with a hero, I created, who is called upon to protect the Oyate (People). The hero walks both in Spirit and the Physical, and must learn what it is to feel, to touch …. to live as a human being. So his journey, becomes ours.
