Title: Artist & Game Developer
Bio: Youthful Neal Wojahn was raised in the mysterious Cascadian rain-forest by a band of feral Sasquatch. He learned the ways of art by listening to the wind believing in himself. One day he woke up and decided to follow his heat, and migrate south. This led him over mountains and across deserts down to the apocalyptic wasteland of Southern California, where he now worships a great daemon of frost by making video games.
