About Me

Thank you for visiting my website.  Please feel free to browse through the different sections. I will be uploading more work, both new and old, on a fairly regular basis.

My name is Len, and I live in the sunny city of Durban, South Africa.  I grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, and even though I loved art from a very young age I attended HTS, Bellivlle Technical High School, where I graduated in Higher Grade Technika Civil and Technical Drawings.  After finishing school in 1996 I decided to do Graphic Design and completed a course in Electronic Origination at the South African Printing College, Johannesburg. 

After studies I worked for a small printing company in Cape Town and then went to the UK and worked in England and Scotland for almost two years.  I then settled in Durban and am currently working for a publishing company who publish two magazines: SKI-BOAT Magazine & FLYFISHING Magazine.  I love the outdoors, and some of the perks of my job is to go to exotic fishing locations every now and then!

Early 2007 I started learning Blender 3d.  I've always wanted to do 3d animation and conventional film, but unfortunately at the time of me leaving school back in '96 the 3d industry in South Africa was almost non-existent compared to now.  This great Open Source application is making it possible for blokes like myself to make up for lost time.
