Who is Mat Harris?
Mat Harris is a graduate of The Art Institute of Portland(2006). A Portland, Oregon native he is currently seeking to continue his skills and abilities within the realm of game art. Influenced by movies and video games at an early age his desire to create his own vehicles, environments and characters could only be expressed directly by drawing. Originally interested in concept design, Mat wanted to develop pre-visualization concepts for animations and film effects. Yet, right out of college he took the opportunity to apply his new 3D and digital art skills to get a chance to enter the world of game art. Taking a small contracted prop art job he instantly fell in love with the field and continued to pursue it. He found that video-game art would be much more artistically rewarding than he previously thought and a profession that utilizes every artist’s individual creative ideas and talents. He feels video games are only going to get bigger and more complex which means the opportunities within the profession are endless!
Like his childhood, Mat still finds inspiration from watching movies and playing video games. Now his tastes have broadened to painting, architecture and even textiles from a multitude of artists, cultures and countries.
Currently back in his hometown of Beaverton, Oregon, he is now seeking to find a company that is looking for a talented and creative digital artist such as himself.
