Jeff Unay's professional art career began designing scratch-off lottery tickets and multimedia for the Louisiana Lottery Corp. That experience helped spawn a strong passion for computer graphics. His 2d work soon developed in to 3d work, where he would later be found working on creating creatures for the game "Quake 4". Jeff's artistic inspirations have always been deeply rooted in the designs found in the films he grew up watching repeatedly, especially "Conan the Barbarian", "Clash of the Titans" and "Aliens". Today, he's living out his childhood dreams of developing characters and creatures for film, television and video games. Jeff is currently a Freelance Artist/Author and Facial Lead on "Avatar" at Weta Digital. And as a big believer in sharing his knowledge and experiences with others in the computer graphics community, in his spare time Jeff continues to author books, podcasts, presentations, teach courses and mentor students.
