About Shinya

I was born in Nagoya, Japan in 1979. I might have been influenced by my grand mother because she was a water color painter. I liked drawing when I was young. When I was a college student I decided to visit to Australia in order to see a new world where I hadn't seen. While keeping distance from a daily life, I realized what I'd like to do as my job. That was arts. I became to like expressing myself in arts. After coming back from Australia, I decided to come to the US to study arts.

I went to a college in Sacramento in order to get an Asociate Degree of Graphic Design. I was going back to Japan after finishing the college. However, I heard from my friends about Academy of Art University where is the best art school, especially for graphic arts in West coast. I decided to go the Academy of Art in order to learn more. While going to the school, I met many students who also had similar goals. Discussing art with them I changed my major to concentrate on 3D modeling. Now I'm making myself busy to learn techniques related to 3D modeling.

Now I eager to learn new things and look forward to knowing them.
