You stumble upon a quaint cottage deep within the forest and as you get closer, you notice small carved creatures in the window sill. All hand made from another time you have only read stories about.

philosophy

For over a decade, wanderlust has taken me from alla prima to puppetry to the pipelines of game development; I have an unending need to create.

To make the right decisions for your world, I seek truth and understanding. My process involves asking a lot of questions. Iterating according to feedback - working with me is a conversation.

some words from my clients

"Alex is one of those rare people you meet, immediately wish you'd always had on your teams, and then hope to work with in perpetuity. After 20 years of working with artists, I don't say that lightly. He's fast, has a strong vision and justification for his aesthetic decisions. Yet, he's easy to communicate with, and errs on the side of customer service and a desire to match (and in most cases, improve upon) your direction." - Shawn Lord from Niche Worlds Cult

"Goblin is a great guy! He provides excellent suggestions and is easy work with. Delivery is always on schedule, and adjustments are easy to communicate. He goes to great lengths to understand his client's vision and needs, which is tremendously valuable in a freelance artist." - Dapper Grim Studios

"Goblin is an absolute joy to work with. I've gone to him numerous times for character art from both sci-fi and dark fantasy settings and he always leaves me amazed. He will keep you involved throughout the creative process and if something isn't working he has shown to me that he will start again from scratch to get the effect he wants in order to capture the essence of the character."

"Very thorough. Asks all the right questions. Overall dope dude."

"Goblin has been very reliable and consistent, good at picking up new tools and making use of them."
