I ate pixels and drank huge doses of monitor radiation. I gradually upped my skills and destroyed my social life,” he recalls.

Amit finally left his job this year and going freelance full-time has given the artist a deep sense of satisfaction, but it’s also brought new challenges. “I’m inspired by good science fiction, often dystopian, and my work tends to be dark and moody.”
