Summary
Hi, I'm Kandi Maciejewski and I am a full-time freelance artist who specializes in creating charming and cartoony game art. I have been working in the industry for 10 years, and I believe in improving every day. After experiencing the studio life, I've decided to start my own business, as I feel it fits my personality and goals better.
I specialize in creating 2D game assets. You can find those game assets available for sale on this website, and on other online market places, such as the Unity Asset Store.
I have worked on many games, the most famous of those being The Simpsons: Tapped Out. I had the amazing opportunity to do contract work at an EA studio.
If you’d like to get in touch with me, feel free to e-mail me at Artbykandles@gmail.com.
