# About me
Ivan has been an influential contributor to the global CG art community since his teenage years. At the age of Seventeen he was awarded a renowned scholarship to attend the The Art Institute of California – San Francisco with focus on Media Arts & Animation.While soaking the energy of the vibrant San Francisco arts community Ivan joined one of the many globally influential creative teams at Autodesk Inc, San Francisco.
Upon his return to Eastern Europe, Ivan served as the art director for the software startup company STS Soft SC, providing cutting edge solutions for today’s most challenging data problems. It was there that Ivan gained the corporate design production experience that converged with his passion for technology, and in little time, he found himself working on the user experience and interface design of small screens.
Since Ivan left the data startup environment he has helped a number of idea driven startups find their visual identity and communicate their mission to the global digital community.
Despite Ivan’s full time obsession with staying on top of the advancements in the worlds of art and technology, he can be often found snowboarding untouched powder in European mountains or striking a scorpio pose to capture the perfect angle of a scene worthy of inclusion in his travel journal.

Hey! I was looking through your Gallery and saw your Revit stuff, and it looks awesome! I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of joining , the group for Deviants who use Revit.

I definitely would, its just that the model was simply modeled using Revit although it was rendered in 3ds max. I hope that will count.

of course! The dirty work was done in Revit

I just realized I've yet to give you a meaningless llama badge. Please, have one.

hey could you explain what are those lamas all about...never really understood them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They're just for fun. People just love llamas for some reason, so deviantArt decided to add it as a feature, I guess. Good times.
But quite seriously, how are you doing?

hey...I was off for some summer fun on the Bulgarian las vegas haha...returned pretty refreshed, well now thinking about how to get there again soon...
on the professional side - discussing a huge project including modeling, texturing and rendering a huge resort place, there will be a bunch of walk troughs. the deadline is really short...like 20 days, I might have to find some help. The projects is still on the discussion table so theres nothing already decided but...
did I asked you already if you play Aion ? (or ever played?) asking because that was one of the side projects. we built a private server for aion - www.24aiononline.com. we got several other game servers...
do you have a job right now?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That sounds like fun! Is it a gambling-type place, a show-type place, or is it just pretty much Las Vegas in Bulgaria? Better yet, what's the name of this place? I bet I'll never be able to pronounce it. 
As for Aion, no, I haven't played it. I do like MMOs, but alas, I find myself strapped for cash more often than not these days. I must say though, pretty cool that you helped create with a private server. I have no idea what goes into that entirely, but rest assured, I'm impressed.
And jobs... No job right now. I'm working on a game with Oliver, though. It's actually pretty cool, and I've gotten to do most of the animations for it so far. We just brought on a second animator though, so it'll lighten my workload if we're lucky. One of my teachers e-mailed me asking if I was available for some freelance 2d work, but I don't know if it'll work out. I'm at Stanford with Oliver most of the time, so I don't even have a scanner (which explains my epic lack of recent work on dA).
*Sigh*
In any case, keep me updated. It's always fun.

hahah well, its called Sunny Beach
its pretty much like...eastern European type of place for having all the fun...
What do you mean "i'm at Stanford". You are getting Masters over there ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, unfortunately I'm not getting my Master's here. A friend of ours actually did a little digging, and with our degree (at least in the USA), we can only pursue Master's Degrees from schools owned by EDMC. I wish one of those recruiters had told me that little tidbit. In any case, I think we're ineligible for Stanford. I also heard a rumor that since Ai is based in Pennsylvania (and is thus accredited by Pennsylvania), we can apply for any school in that state, but who's going to jump across the country in this economy (or overseas)?
I'm just here because Oliver is teaching a program for school-age kids. It's fun for him, but you know how pre-teens are... They're annoying.
And I must say, I was expecting a name composed entirely of consonants in Bulgarian. Sunny Beach is so... internationally friendly. Awesome. But I guess most people speak English over there... I wish the US had the same emphasis on language. I'd love to be able to claim a few different languages (though Americans are generally presented with fewer opportunities to use those skills).
Eastern Europe sounds like fun. Maybe someday we'll actually manage to travel a bit... Thbbt.
Good times.

Пусна, как няма да пусне! И God is God, и Tokyo от последния албум... Бяхме във Фестивална, излязоха в 24:30 с Нина Николина, хората изпадаха в транс, танцувахме като в Матрицата, мисля, че не си внушавах
Искам да ти благодаря за въпроса - дълго се чудех какво да напиша за концерта в блога си и мисля, че вече подхванах посоката.

I just had to have a look. And wow, you have some really impressive stuff, love especially how you operate with light. the classroom image shows that nicely
I have a feeling like I've been on your page before... 
Haven't been in Bulgaria for a while, haha. How's it there now?
Greetings from Germany!
