Jose Putman was raised in the heart of New York City, East Harlem. He comes from the ’80s era, when hip hop and dancing evolved into the club scene. In fact, Putman used to love dancing in the clubs and listening to waves of sounds. After serving as a DJ for many years, Putnam began playing with various graphics programs. I started using graphics and Web design programs, such as those from Adobe and Macromedia, in addition to reading graphic design books. From there, he realized that he loved everything about designing. Putman taught himself everything: graphics, Web design, animation, photography, painting, 3D programs, music production, and poetry. Putnam enthuses: “I love to create!” A freelance artist, Putman would like to work in the field he loves on a full-time basis. He creates his art pieces using Adobe Photoshop, Autodesk 3ds Max, and Pixologic ZBrush. Putnam also has experience using: all Macromedia and Adobe programs, e frontier poser, and DAZ Productions Bryce.
