Experience

As Chris has gained experience with cutting-edge technology — like the latest in 3D sculpting and drawing tablets — he's also established himself as an artist and graphic designer under the name World Famous Design Junkies. Chris tests the real-world capabilities of consumer gadgets with his creative works and expands his artistic horizons with each new review of bleeding-edge technology.
