about myself

So I’ve been going by the alias/handle/nickname/screen name/character name/anything-else-you-can-think-of-on-the-interwebs-in-terms-of-a-name of Alerek since…since a really long time ago. You can find embarrassing moments of stupidity all over the internet, I’m sure.

I’m 23, and I lived here in the Cincinnati area my entire life. I’m fortunate enough to have lived with my beautiful girlfriend Robyn for the past 3 years or so. We’ve been through quite a lot together, and a lot of inspiration and motivation comes right from her.

Right now, I’m only designing paper toys that ultimately are the creation of a few artists around the web, all of which you’ll find tied to this site in some way or another.  I’d also like to point out that the models I design are inspired by many fantastic video games in existence. In my opinion, they are the ultimate form of entertainment on this planet.

I hope everyone who stumbles upon these enjoys them as much as I did making them.
