My name is Solomon W. Jagwe, the creator and director of "The Adventures of Nkoza and Nankya" (www.nkozaandnankya.com), and a versatile artist specializing in 3D modeling, animation, painting, and illustration. I am based in Virginia, USA

I grew up on the outskirts of Kampala, Uganda, on the slopes of Mutundwe Hill, with my early childhood spent in the countryside of Masaka. In Uganda, I worked for Infosat as a website developer and artist, Photo Magic as a photo processor and photographer, and C&MS as an artist and web development instructor. After completing my A-Level education at Makerere College School, I moved to the United States in 1996 on a scholarship to pursue a degree in Art.

I graduated in the spring of 1999, having attended Ohio Valley University, Montgomery College, and George Mason University, where I majored in Art and Visual Technology with an emphasis on 3D environment design and modeling, character modeling and animation, vehicle modeling, and simulation.

2000 - 2012: Following graduation, I worked as a storyboard artist, FMV animator, 3D artist, environment and level designer, modeler, texture artist, and matte painter for several defense contractors and gaming studios, including Rival Interactive, Cornerstone, SAIC, and Camber.
