Luke Ahearn

Luke has been a game developer since 1992 and ran his own game company for the first ten years. He created several software titles and been involved in the start up, operations, and art direction of several other companies. He has experience in team building, management, production, and 2D / 3D asset creation.

In addition to writing several books in the past few years he has started developing games for the iPhone and iPad as well as creating and selling 3D art on line for use by other artists.

MasterWerxStudios is his latest venture and comes from the desire to return to traditional hands on art, and to not sit so much!
