Summary

I'm Michal Kus, concept designer, illustrator and educator. Love to learn and teach!
Clients Include: EA, Disney, Paramount Pictures and many more.
Co-founder & COO @ Focal Point School

I am a versatile Concept artist and not restricted to one theme and style. My skills range from fast sketches to proper quality key renders and illustrations. Being able to pull off all kinds of concepts in various production pipelines due to my long inhouse experience (more than 6 years) where I worked closely with other artists, art directors and producers to push the quality of a giving project. I have experience in both the video game and film industry.

I have an excellent eye for detail and I try to flesh that out with even the fastest and roughest works. I am able to quickly and effectively respond to critique and feedback. I am very comfortable and used to work under high pressure where quantity sometimes is more important than quality, but that of course depends on the project's needs
