Ben Knapp took a small break from being Art Director at Hi-Rez Studios to join us for a conversation a few weeks ago. Man, did he have some amazing gems of wisdom to share with us! I loved hearing him talk about Hi-Rez Studios and its commitment to fostering artistic growth and development as well as teamwork and support. The studio culture seems to thrive on supporting and developing artists who demonstrate potential. He also reminded us that an artist's job and work is always just a part of the journey. Even Ben continues to take classes and build and refine his skills whenever the opportunity arises... and he's an Art Director! What's important, he says, is to stay humble and be human. :)
