I've always had a passion for art.

When I was young I was constantly drawing (ususally of walls, or homework, or whatever else was likely to get me into most trouble). Then, in '86, I was introduced to the Nintendo, and a whole new passion began.

The fusing of art and technology in a fun medium is something that's captivated me my entire life, and when I had a chance to get an education if that field, I jumped in with both feet.

After graduation, I moved back to my hometown and have been trying to make the dream come to fruition.

But what is Freezingfist?

~~~

Freezingfist is a character I created in World of Warcraft years ago. I've always been interested in light and shadow, Chiaroscuro being some of my favorite art. So, when designing the character, I was drawn to the shadow priest. In almost every development class I'd taken in school, I'd been taught that character background is one of the most important things you can create for them. Therefore, from what I've read in other fantasy novels, a person that dabbles in the powers of shadow is most likely to have a touch that is ice cold...

Although it's very nerdy, Warcraft has become a bigger part of my life than I'd honestly like to admit. I've made lifelong friends, as well as brought friends into the world with me... to the point that when someone calls me Freez in real life, I respond. I found it fitting to keep my art alias the same as my digital one.

Thank you for taking the time to find out a little bit more about me.
