Alain Viesca
Artist | Professional | Digital Art
United States
I was born on the West coast, naked and helpless unable to fend for myself and eventually acquired the skills to draw and paint well enough to make it on my own. I exhibits my work throughout the year from the East to the West coast. Holding in particular interests art, science, anything hi-tech and of course fantasy, I have been working professionally since 1990 and am currently running my own little studio incorporating digital matte painting, 3d modeling and traditional art techniques into my work.
I am a father of two, enjoy a good book, good beer and occasionally a good scifi/fantasy or Chinese action flick, gourmet tea and I'm abit of a foodie. I really enjoy new and exotic food made by an pro with love.
An avid reader and a fair cook, Alain lives in Oklahoma City with his family and two large red Dobermans with a penchant for pecans and bloody meat.
