ABOUT THE WINGLESS

INSPIRING AND ENTERTAINING THE DESIGN WORLD SINCE 2000

 

 

Thank you for visiting TheWingless.Com, my personal talent showcase!  My name is John Burnett, videogame Art Director and award-winning UI UX Designer of some 20 years in the Industry. I also run my own international UI Design mentorship program that teaches Designers how to break into the videogame Industry as a UI Artist. I started this site way back in 2000(!) and have been seeding it with art, music, writing and coding for decades ever since. TheWingless.com attracts artisans and dreamers from all over the globe, and I’m thrilled to count you among them.

ABOUT ME

My name is John Burnett, an award-winning UI artist, UX Designer and Art Director in the videogame industry for nearly 20 years. I’ve been an Art Director at Glu Mobile and Polyient Games, worked as an in-house artist with AAA studios like Midway Games, Electronic Arts and id Software – and I’ve freelanced with Activision, Microsoft, King, and more indies and startups than I can count. I have no idea how you can be certified as a Renaissance man or a Polymath, but I like to think I fit the bill by being reasonably talented in Art, Music, Acting, Writing, & Invention. I live in beautiful Chicago with my equally beautiful family, though I’ve lived in nearly every corner pocket of the States for work in The Industry. 

ABOUT THE SITE

TheWingless.com has been running since 2000, serving as a creative personal talent showcase.  I’ve been producing pioneering works of digital art since the days of Flash and Corel Draw. For the past 20 years, I’ve built this site upon a legacy of creative excellence and expression; a gallery of art, music, writing, invention and innovation. Flash forward to 2020’s pandemic Lockdown, and I’ve added a sizeable UI UX Design knowledge base that is impossible to find anywhere else on the internet. All blogs, guides and crash-courses are designed from the ground-up for game design hopefuls, professionals making the jump, and anyone feverishly curious about Design and Creativity.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER!
