| Who are Graphixa?
From as early as he could remember,
Lee Barnett was happiest when holding a pencil
and piece of paper, probably as a result
of his parents not wanting crayon art
all over their walls. Raised and educated
in the UK, Lee currently works for a
research institute looking at the manufacture
of shoes. So what has this to do with
3D art?
Well,
Lee graduated from university
with an engineering degree,
and became interested in the
area of multimedia development.
For 5 years Lee worked in various
multimedia houses as an Authorware
developer and consultant, and
became involved in the production
of bespoke 3D work for various
corporate clients like Vodafone
and TRW Lucas Aerospace. This
wetted his appetite for 3D,
in particular the production
of character driven work. Having
already gained some experience
in the use of Curious Labs Poser
(Metacreations as it was then),
Lee went full steam ahead producing
his own artwork, some being
posted to gallery sites on the
net, other, purely for his own
enjoyment. |
Although research forms the basis of
his current work, Lee’s thoughts
are never far away from the production
of his next piece of art, and is always
looking for opportunities to expand
his skills and expertise, to achieve
the heights of excellence that his influences
Luis Royo, Chris Achilleos, and Sorayama
Hajime achieve.
Lee lives in Leicestershire, UK, with
his wife, lunatic dog, and cats, all
of whom seem to come higher than him
in the pecking order. He is currently
trying to finish his PhD, just because
his wife likes the sound of being married
to a Doctor.
