Inspiration for today is awesome concept artist Kekai Kotaki.
Born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, Kekai has always had a passion for art.
Finding the sunshine and beautiful scenery distracting he moved to dreary Seattle in 2000 to attend art school. After graduating he proceeded to attempt a career at doing art.
This meant getting a job at ArenaNet, the makers of the Guild Wars franchise as a lowly texture artist. Through hard work and more than a little luck he was able to become a concept artist.
Kekai can still be found in Seattle. After 5 years as Lead Concept Artist on Guild Wars 2
and 8+ years total at ArenaNet, Kekai has left to go look for new endeavors and to work on his burgeoning illustration career.
