Name: “Bind Chamber”
Method: Adobe Illustrator
"This piece is part of a sub group of pieces I did back in 2014 to go along with my overall theme of a factory at work. This sub group is called “Lights Out”, meaning every piece in this group has a black background and white subjects. As you can see the creatures are conformed inside to the main subject, which is a Robot with 8 arms."-Joshua Jones

Joshua Jones is a Game artist and Graphic Designer; which
his life is nothing but normal in some people’s eyes, but to him he wishes it
could be better. Before his art he never really had much of an interest in it.
In middle school he had a really picky art teacher; which made him fear art
more than like it. So in high school he never really perused it that much. What
did develop were his ideas for writing games. He was always a silent kid and
stuck to himself most of the time, so his social life was not that great but he
did have few friends he hung out with sometimes. As he graduated high school
Joshua Jones decided he wanted to pursue a degree in game design or anything
tailored to it.

Name: “Blinding Destruction”
Method: Adobe Illustrator
"Created as part of another sub group of pieces titled “Dr.
Geo’s Plan”, this piece really speaks to the problems of global warming, as
some of us may think it’s not a problem but in reality it is and there are
grave consequences. The ovens symbolize how foolish we are to let things just
slide go on without attention, thus causing such great and massive destruction
to our home planet." -Joshua Jones

He decided to go to Full Sail since it had some of the programs
Joshua was looking for, originally he pursued game development but after a
certain point taking the program he got bored with it and decided to switch. Joshua
Jones wanted to take Game design but with it only online, he gave art another
shot. Throughout his journey at Full Sail in the game art program he has learned
so much and even developed he skills at graphic design as well. Joshua Jones
figured why not, he was never super talented at the art he was being taught and
this lowered his self-esteem a bit, but when he started learning illustrator
and doing more art with that instead of taking the traditional route, Joshua
Jones was more surprised that he did better at it than what he was learning in
class.

Name: “Get It In Gear”
Method: Adobe Illustrator
"Made on a white background with black subjects these cogs
work hard to pump out gears into the factory, just look at their happy faces as
they work to better society. The feeling in this piece really spoke to me on
how tiring it is to work round the clock in a factory, this is probably one of
my favorite pieces." Joshua jones

As Joshua went through the rest of his program he developed more and
more skills at graphic design and now has two skills in both Game art and
graphic design that he can be proud of. Now with graduation looming he wants
people to know that following standards and following the rules is no longer
the only way to live in this life. Sometimes you need to develop extra skills
in case the first skill set doesn’t secure you a job. Joshua Jones hopes his
art can inspire someone in the future because doing it gives him a sense of
purpose and hopes it can inspire someone else’s sense of purpose too.
