My name is Chris Kautz and I am an Australian commercial artist and designer living in Holland. I have ten years of experience in product design, both in Australia and Europe. In Holland I practiced commercial illustration for ten years and have been in 3d computer graphics for the last ten years and my work appears in ads and on television.

I am a part time instructor at our local college here in the Netherlands and have discovered that a direct line of communication with students many years younger than myself can be found in a common love for computer and console games. I get a level of trust other teachers don't enjoy simply because I have completed GTA IV!

My passion for games does not stop at playing them but extends to what they are made of and what makes them tick. The concept stage right through to publishing is a riveting process. I am not only interested in designing and building characters but also how they will be animated and the contribution they will make to the end product. Unlike many of my peers I have not concentrated on one aspect of production but have familiarized myself with the whole spectrum, which is very wide and ever changing.

Staying current in development trends has led me to participate in forums on the Internet, and I am a forum leader at CGTalk.com that boasts thousands of members and a good many professionals from every part of the globe.
