My “breaking in” story.

Shame on me. I recently had someone mention that I haven't ever shared my own breaking in story! I thought it would be a good idea to share that, which will be heard on the next episode. However, if you would like a more detailed explanation about how I broke in, or would like to read a bit more about environment art in general, head over to Take Initiative, where they recently put up an interview I participated in.

So what’s this all about?

This podcast is dedicated to being a free information source for those looking to get their foot in the door, as well as a tool for industry professionals who need a good resource to pass along to anyone who might need advice.

As many others in the industry, I have received many emails from driven individuals who are trying to get into the video game industry and seeking information. For a while now, I have been thinking of ways to best answer these questions, not just for one individual, but for many. This is what started the Games Industry Mentor.

A bit about myself:

My name is Aaron Canaday and I work as an environment artist for BioWare Austin, and as you can guess, a large majority of my guests for the show are pulled from the amazingly talented friends I have at that studio.

To send in a question - email gamesindustrymentor@gmail.com, or contact me on twitter at acanaday and I will do my best to answer those questions on a show.
