2012 Ian Kaleta

Biography

I grew up in a small northern Maine town called Eagle Lake in the 90s and early 2000s. I didn't have cable or satellite until later in childhood, all I had was just few select films and a NES. Because of this I spent a lot of time doodling and building things with Legos, not to mention gaming.

In Elementary school I started tinkering with computers. From second grade I knew I wanted to do something with computers some day. By high school I was programming websites and building levels in Half-Life 2. Eventually I decided to go to school for game art and design in Atlanta, Georgia.

Past times include modding, modeling, cross-country skiing, listening to Yes. I own almost all Nintendo home consoles and often switch between NES, SNES and PC.
