Our guest this week will be Stephen Sitton, someone who did just that, all while streaming full time on Twitch!

From Stephen:

Hey there! I am Stephen Sitton, known online as Stumpyfongo or just Stumpy. I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in illustration in 2012. As part of my graduate program I interned at Picture Plane Imaging, a creative studio providing visual assets for leading brands with studios located in both CA and TX. I was immediately hired after graduating and continued working with the studio for 8 years creating artwork for all sorts of intellectual properties including: Video Games, Toys, Movies, and more. Some the clients I have worked with include Disney, Ubisoft, Activision, EA Games, Sega, Lucas Arts, Hasbro, Mattel, and many more. In the summer of 2020, I made the tough decision to transition to full-time freelance and have been having a blast streaming, building up my personal portfolio, and creating awesome images ever since! For NDA and overly vague legal reasons I am not permitted to post any of the studio work I’ve done on my personal sites. But you can check out the studio’s website at: http://pictureplaneimaging.com/
