Hello,
my name is Gavin Schmitt, this is my profile, and this is my company. Four years ago I graduated the Rhode Island School of design and went to work on a video game. The game didn't get finished, the staff fell apart, and I had to flee to my side job. For the next year and a half, I did artwork and design for Hasbro's GIJoe, Micromachines, and Transformers lines. Along with Chris Ford and David Reeves, I had a hand in every Star Wars Episode 3 toy's development.
Then my bosses quite (Hasbro's art department is a pretty poor place to work) to form Pilot http://www.creativepilot.com/ and i was laid off a few weeks later. It wasn't so bad, I'd just gotten married. With no reason to stay, I moved back to my home state, Maryland and found a job with Palisades Toys. For the six months before they went out of business, I worked with Greg Leeuwen on Buffy, AVP, Alien, Predator, XFiles, Sesame street, Transformers, Invader Zim, and many other brands that i only remember as samples stuffed in crates somewhere in my basement.
Now, after a year of set up, study, and development, I find myself here. A madman who looks like santa clause, running a group of madmen that do not look like elves, having fun, making games, sitting in a crazy lounge, in a finctional city, on the east coast of the USA...
