the work of
tomás montalvo-lagos
For the past 8 years I've been moonlighting as a part-time art school teacher, mainly focused on art school portfolio prep students. At least 6 of my students are starting their first year of Pasadena Art Center, as well as, Otis, Savanna and Cal Arts. For the last 2 years I've been concept designing with Nexus Games to develop a RPG. Before that I was a full time concept artist with ABCmouse for 2 years. And before that I was working as a senior illustrator for the Walt Disney Company working on various initiatives over the course of 12 years. I'm looking to spread my wings as an art director or try my hand at background painting for animation or even continue as a concept artist. Either way I would be an asset to any team. I'm able to contribute through creative and constructive input, have a great work ethic including being really easy to get along with (don't let the self-portait on the right throw you). I also have a high tolerance for needless and arbitrary versioning, I'm told. That being said, you may have figured out that I have a good sense of humor and don't take myself too seriously.
