About Me
My name is Jem Alexander. I currently attend the University of Teesside in England where I study Computer Animation. I am a games journalist and I write for Joystiq.com as well as two Joystiq branded specialist sites, PS3 Fanboy and PSP Fanboy.
This blog is a temporary showcase for my artwork, including 2D, 3D and storyboards. Each image can be clicked on to view a higher resolution image. Most posts have a “more” button which will allow you to see more images and videos of the pieces of work. There are also a few blog posts I made when I first started writing about video games back in 2006.
