What I Enjoy

What I Enjoy ?

Text by Jaime Hoe

My name is Jaime and I have worked in video games, KROME Studios for two years in Brisbane, Australia - Jimmy Neutron and King Arthur on cutscenes and props.
I'm obsessed with images, so in many ways, games characters and environments satisfy my insatiable curiousity and obsession in graphics and story-telling in cutscenes.

My obsession with images has also led me to explore on popular culture, trends, fashion illustrations, vinyl toys, contemporary art and music videos.
To me, life is about having different experiences and so far, it has worked for me.
My formula for success equates research and application with a shift in paradigm or usage of metaphors when learning new areas.

As such, my hobbies and interests constantly change and evolve, but one thing stays for sure, that is, drawing.

"I'm not a sci-fi nerd but I am definitely a nerd. I can't last down the pub for more than two hours because I want to be tinkering around on my computer. Most of my friends are the same. They start getting twitchy when they've been round your house too long. They want to be off nerding it up somewhere."
