Brad Bowling’s Post

Well...the games industry bloodletting continues. Today Visual Concepts Austin laid off myself and a group of very talented developers. I have had a great time over the past couple of years working with some of the finest Game Devs in the industry. Over the past 23 years of making game art, I have seen some downturns but nothing like this. If anyone is in need of someone with my "particular set of skills" please reach out. I'll be hitting the virtual pavement hard as soon as I'm done crying in my beer. GG All

Damn Brad, very sorry to hear this...I know your next role will be an amazing one; you're too talented to be a free agent for very long! Wish I could share that beer with ya...

I've had a blast working with you! Thank you for your amazing effort and attitude, I'll always be grateful for you having my back. Best of luck and I hope our paths will cross again soon.

Dude your one of the best art mangers and leader I’ve had the pleasure of working with… if your job isn’t safe what job is? 😵

You are the hardest-working leader. Thank you for always being around through the tough times. I'm sorry this happened to you Brad.

Oh man… that sucks dude. Sorry to hear they got you too. I’ll keep my ears open for you 🤘

Your talents and skills amaze and impress anyone lucky enough to know you, work with you, be your friend, etc. I guess its about time Burt Rock Productions stepped up and started paying your salary.

Knowing that I was a student of yours before you hopped into this position was an amazing opportunity. The fact that you were part of some lay offs is unfortunate but you'll hit that pavement and have 30 job offers in your inbox, keep going professor.

I am going to miss discussing with you why Maya does what it does... I am so glad I got to work with you Brad. We assembled an amazing group of people here and you were the perfect pick to come in, work with and mentor people.
