JOHN TAYLOR
TIME ARTS
Artist Statement
My work is primarily either edited videos or video games. These works often contain humorous feelings, with jokes being added to the work wherever appropriate. Videos are made with Premiere Pro and After Effects, while the games are made with Unity. Both of these kinds of projects utilize Photoshop and Illustrator for graphics and assets. I will also use Blender to create 3D models and animations for the games where they are needed. My art primarily aims to entertain; I enjoy making myself and other people laugh, and video projects especially have always been the perfect medium for that.
