Not only have I personally known Ian for over two decades but also had the good fortune of working with him on projects involving animation and creative concepts over the last year. Ian listens well to concepts and helps extrapolate them via his illustrations and brings them to life with his 3D Animations - he has brought tears to my eyes with his work . Will be using Ian again on our next projects highly recommended.
