My journey at ModelFarm has come to an end today.

Over 5+ years (my longest running job) I've had the absolute pleasure of working with a bunch of truly amazing, talented coworkers. From the early days working on Arch Vis to an incredible range of Films, TV Shows and Interactive Experiences.

This recent gen Ai debate is a good time to announce we're looking for HUMAN concept artists 2026+ to work with us on a few projects on contract basis.

If getting a quick hand-drawn sketch like this to then work your magic on is exciting? Then reply below with your portfolio.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

It really is dire out there, cannot stand Generative AI/ML "Art", why take the soul out of art, why take the fun out of art, why take the satisfaction of completing a difficult piece of art away.

Some of the arguments I see out there are just bonkers

Steam should really start selling movies again. But not streaming. F streaming. Sell em like they sell games, but you download in whatever quality you want. They could be the only people offering lossless format movies digitally. Just give me the fuuuucking video file

Apart from looking for a new full time job, I am also on the lookout for some small one off gigs to raise some extra money due to unexpected expenses at this time of year!
Let me know if you think you have something that might fit!
Open to consults as well!
