PINBALL
Yes...pinball machines are still being made!
And who doesn't like to play a game of pinball?
'Ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball' and in 2011 I started creating animations for the first game by Jersey Jack Pinball, USA. In the years after, I got involved in many other pinball related projects. These are the games I've worked on.
The Godfather

MY ROLE: ART-DIRECTOR & LCD-ARTIST
One of the most challenging pinball themes I've worked on. The art and animations on this game are largely inspired by New York City's art deco style in shapes and colours, combining it with stained glass elements as a reference to the church scene at the end of one of the most epic movies ever made.

Working together with legendary Slash has made it an unforgettable experience.

DIALED IN!
CLIENT: JERSEY JACK PINBALL
