PEER RECOMANDATIONS

“Paul is a shining example of commitment to the job. He works an extraordinary amount of hours outside of a normal day which means he is normally hard at work 2 hours before and after most other people, as well as working countless weekends at short notice- most of the time unpaid. He is very understanding of situations and people's abilities and is always ready to listen and help with problems. Outside of his extended working hours Paul is very sociable and is always looking to spend time with colleagues- which was great in building up working relations. Paul is a real pleasure to work with and an inspiration to others.” — Ben Merrick Lead Artist at Stellar Entertainment Software

December 20, 2012, Ben reported directly to Paul

“I’ve worked with Paul on many projects over the last 3 years as both his contemporary and “as part of his team. He is the most dedicated of workers, always willing to go the extra mile to get something done on time or to improve the work to a standard he is happy with. He is a perfectionist but never lets that get in the way of the deadline. Paul is a very talented artist, able to model, paint and sculpt with skill and speed. However he also has the technical skill needed to back this up in an ever changing industry. He runs his teams in a flexible and relaxed way, leading by example and never expecting anything from others that he wouldn’t expect of himself. Always supportive and able to listen to the opinions of his co-workers Paul is an asset to any company fortunate enough to have him. I would not hesitate to recommend him and look forward to working with him again in the future. ” —Alex Styles Senior Visual Media Specialist at Jacobs

September 14, 2012, Styles worked with Paul in different groups

“Paul is an extremely hard worker, he's absolutely relentless in pursuit of achieving his goals. In short if you want the job done and well, Paul's your man. On KDA he was instrumental in supervising a large team of people, making sure they knew what they were doing and that the quality of work was kept at a high level. He's a talented artist, who never rests on his laurels and is always researching new artistic techniques and pipelines.” —Samuel Trumper Senior Environment Artist at Rocksteady Studios Ltd

January 14, 2012, Samuel reported directly to Paul

“Paul is one of the most dedicated people I’ve ever worked with; always willing to go the extra mile to make sure the project ends up looking its very best. He can be relied upon to bring quality 3D artwork to any project and has great 2D skills to back this up. Whilst working on Kinect: Disneyland Adventures he somehow managed to keep on top of the workload of more than a dozen artists at once whilst at the same time producing artwork of the highest quality himself. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with him for the last three years and I’d love to have the opportunity to do so again at some stage.” — Josh Short Senior Environment Artist at Frontier Developments

December 17, 2011, Paul worked with Josh in the same group
