Graphic and computer animation designer of unclear notability; prior prod (on the grounds of lack of sourcing) was removed by creator when he added some "sources" — but those sources still fail to constitute actual reliable sourcing, as every last footnote is to a blog entry, a Twitter feed, his own website or iTunes, and not a single one of them is to real media. I'm willing to withdraw this nomination if somebody can Heymann it up with some real sources, but as of right now it's a delete. Bearcat (talk) 07:24, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

- Note on sources: Kotaku and GameSetWatch are considered reliable sources by the videogames wikiproject; and Joystiq considered situational (WP:VG/RS). So my only consideration is if the coverage at these sites can be deemed significant. Marasmusine (talk) 08:14, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- Additional Note on sources: As an extension of the previous note by Marasmusine, other sources are worth mentioning as per their status on Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources.
- Kotaku - Considered reliable after 2010 (2 such citations made, #27 and #28); considered unreliable before 2010 with exception "...only those (significant) opinion posts that are written by established writers are allowed." Established writers cited: Brian Crecente, Editor-In-Cheif (#7) and Michael McWhertor (#2).
- GameSetWatch - More information on the reliability of this site as a source can be found here.
- 1UP.com - Listed as reliable source (footnote #20 cites an interview about the artist's scope of work).
- Offworld - Normally considered a situational source, however the writer of the cited article (#6) is Brandon Boyer, who is considered the exception to the situational status of the blog.
