Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJay Young is a veteran game artist and animator with over a decade of experience crafting sprites, FMV and 3D assets for titles including Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 and Spiderman: Mysterio's Menace on GBA. He transitioned from lead animation roles into CNC programming and CAD/CAM design, leveraging his spatial imagination—he can visualize toolpaths and 3D forms in his head, which makes programming CNC intuitive. Now based in New York, he teaches graphic design and animation at BOCES while running Mutant Cel Productions, a non-profit outlet and YouTube channel for slow-paced, instructional art content. Jay combines production-grade game art experience with practical CAD skills and a patient, mentorship-focused teaching style. Although disability limits full-time studio work, he continues to contribute creatively and technically through education, niche consulting, and online instruction. His background spans studio pipelines, vector art, and real-time rendering on constrained platforms, giving him a unique perspective on efficient asset creation.
