Is Art School Worth It for Game Development?
When I decided to go to art school, I made the choice because I saw the value in learning directly from industry professionals. For me, it wasn’t just about honing my creativity; it was about setting myself up for success in a competitive and ever-evolving field—game art and design. The experience was rewarding, but like any major decision, it comes with its own set of pros and cons. Here’s what I’ve learned, and what you might want to consider if you’re weighing the decision for yourself, whether for goals of being a professional artist or for video game development.

From Stories to Systems. AI-Generated.
For a long time, this space has been a bit… quiet. If you’ve stumbled across this blog before, you might have seen short stories, poems, or bits of fiction—creative experiments written at different points in my life. That part of me hasn’t disappeared. I still love storytelling, world-building, and exploring ideas through narrative.

The Night the Gym Felt Like Church
I didn’t go for the basketball. I went because my nephew asked me to. He’s thirteen, wears his hair in messy curls, and talks about the game like it’s a secret language only he and the ball understand. “You have to see how they move together, Uncle,” he’d said, eyes wide. “It’s like they’re speaking without words.”

The Night the Future Felt Like Hope
I didn’t go to the store for inspiration. I went because I was out of coffee. It was a Tuesday in early March—gray, damp, the kind of morning that clings to your shoulders like a wet coat. I hadn’t slept. My mind was a tangle of unread messages, overdue bills, and the low hum of dread that had become my baseline. The grocery store was just a pit stop on the way to another day I wasn’t sure I could face.

The Night the Arena Felt Like a Time Machine. AI-Generated.
I didn’t go to the library for answers. I went because it was the only place where silence wasn’t judged. It was the winter after my divorce. My apartment felt too loud with absence—echoes in the hallway, empty chairs at the table, the hum of a refrigerator that used to be background noise but now sounded like loneliness amplified. So every Tuesday at 2 p.m., I walked the three blocks to the public library, took the same seat by the window, and opened a book I never read.

The Porch Light That Stayed On
I didn’t notice the porch light at first. It was just another fixture on a quiet street lined with oak trees and tired mailboxes. But every night at 9 p.m., without fail, it clicked on—even in rain, even in summer heat, even when no one was home.
