How to Make a Monster Creative:
Combine equal parts Illustrator, Award-Winning Creative Director, and UI Pioneer
Combine equal parts Illustrator, Award-Winning Creative Director, and UI Pioneer
Armed with raw artistic talent and illustration skills, I was able to rise from junior to senior creative roles very quickly, winning national and even international awards for my ad creative by my mid-twenties. I set aside this whirlwind career in advertising and print design in 2002 to raise a family and further pursue another passion - UI Design. I had already developed a rabid online following by this time, having become nerd-famous for viral Audio player skins and MacOS Makeover kits. While just a hobby at the time, the quality and uniqueness of my work quickly attracted the attention of companies and design studios throughout the tech industry. What followed was a second whirlwind career as a UI design pioneer, during which time I've been fortunate enough to have developed numerous innovative, high-exposure UI projects for the world's premiere technology and entertainment companies.
Borne with a newfound passion for the work and a host of shiny new superpowers, I am currently experiencing a personal creative renaissance as I pursue new and emerging markets where my brand of illustrative UI is in demand.
I wonder what the next 30 years will have in store… as a life-long futurist, researcher, and mad scientist, I expect to live forever would love to get involved in depth-based / dimensional UI, next-gen vehicle UI, human-robot/machine interfacing, aeronautics display, and other exciting emerging technologies.

Billy Bart
a.k.a. BBX, a.k.a. Vampire Billy
Generation X, well-preserved
Set any ageism aside - vampires don't age
Billy currently lives in Hamilton, Ontario with his stolen American wife and a cat named Birdie. He drives a black Mustang convertible festooned with chrome bat wings and seems to consider himself some kind of vampire fashionisto.
He is currently seeking excitement (and financial compensation) in the form of compelling projects.
