Hello, again! My name is John “The Wingless” Burnett, and this is my exceptionally non-professional portfolio. Basically, all the stuff I do outside of my drab and stuffy work as a video game artist.

Professionally, I am a 20-year veteran video game User Interface Artist (UI Artist), User Experience Designer (UX Designer) and Art Director. I have been an in-house artist for Midway Games, Electronic Arts, id Software. I have also been the UI / UX Director at Glu Mobile and the Art Director at Polyient’s blockchain gaming department.

I’ve worked on everything from Call of Duty to Indies to teaching to all manner of obscura I wouldn’t even know how to describe.

These days I’m more or less an Art Mercenary and have worked with companies like Activision, Microsoft and Google – as well as more Indies and Startups than I can count! I also run a mentorship program that helps people break into the Industry as UI / UX designers.

I started this site in 2003 while I was in college and have been making art, music, acting, writing, photography, coding, design… really everything ever since. Feel free to explore, I’m always expanding and building around here (when I’m not swamped being a video game developer!). Thank you so much for visiting, and I look forward to inspiring you.
