Howdy!
So, I'm an artist, designer, and game developer originally from the U.S., but having long called Korea home. This website showcases the work I create under the M-Tee moniker, most of which consists of illustration, packaging design, writing, or game design for NES titles.
I teach K–12 art, graphic design, creative writing, and often other subjects. Although I'm not one for defining one's self through occupation, it does inform a lot of my artistic output as well.
I've also slowly started using this as a home for slightly more casual written content. Check out the blog section if you're curious about that. Otherwise, poke around and enjoy your stay.
