Hey #PortfolioDay! I'm a tech artist searching for some freelance work ⚔️ I was tech artist on Knights in Tight Spaces, and made some sick VFX ✨ I've worked on AR projects with Aardman and The National Gallery, among others 🎨 I love making weird procedural art and shaders 🔗 viki-scull.github.io

My plans for an elaborate crime were thwarted by a generation of youngers brought up on cola beverages. I would have gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for those Pepsi kids!

In the year 2025, footballers are being racially abused online and 30 year old album art is being flagged as sexually explicit. The game's gone.

This sounds fun, but clashes with the food festival 7-9pm. Are you happy for folks to drop in mid-way though, or is it more of an eyes down from 7pm vibe?
