Creative Art Works

Are you a gamer? Last week, Creative Art Works was thrilled to host an undisputed rockstar of video game and movie design, Wei Wang, Chief Creative Officer at FunPlus Games, for a Q&A as part of our Creative Workforce Development program in Digital Art-making in conjunction with Catholic Charities of New York Bridge Program. Wei talked about his background, his #inspiration, and the difference between designing characters for video games vs. movies. 50 young people (and a few... lucky adults) got to ask Wei about his work as a "world builder" and #storyteller for World of Warcraft, Warcraft, Diablo III, Overwatch, Hearthstone, Starcraft, and many more. Wei left us with a final thought about #creativity: Everything REAL was first IMAGINED.
