Chris Bivins is a 2D Generalist who regularly tackles illustration, concept art, storyboards, digital painting, motion graphics, and animation. He's that rare sort of artist who seems to be good at everything he tries, yet still remains humble.
Originally from Kansas City Missouri, Chris graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta with an BFA in Media Arts & Animation. He works days at AGS creating art for video slot machines (alongside co-host Pat Bollin), and has done freelance concept and storyboards for feature films, as well as illustration for comics and games.
