Mitchell Stuart

I’m a Scottish Concept Artist living in Vancouver, Canada, where I run my own registered company doing Concept/DMP/Environments/Art Direction, for clients worldwide. My specialty is creating images and solutions that help studios get projects and shots awarded ( bid work). My strength is visual problem solving using an extensive background in traditional art, partnered with technical knowledge in various computer software.
