I am mostly a 3D Creative.
I am also much more than that.
I am MROFNOCTONOD.

It’s what you get when you take the words “Do Not Conform” and write them backwards.
Technically, in the English language this is called a Semordnilap. This is the actual name for when you take any old phrase and write it backwards.
Somewhat interestingly therefore, “Semordnilap” is what you get when you write “Palindrome” backward and add an “s” at the end.
Such is the nature of Semordnilaps.

Architectural Art Ideation.
I worked with a 2000m2 bronze and resin art foundry in Cape Town consult to award winning sculptors, so sculpture ideation is much more to me than just a trending A.I. jpeg or a slick VFX gimmick to me. It was a great period learning how to work in 3D design software for fabrication in the real world. My work is installed in the Old Biscuit Mill, Root44, Somerset Mall and many more to mention.
3D Scanning, 3D Design & Development
Photogrammetry of people, art pieces and places.

I once tried my hand at being a chef but that didn’t go well and I was in a weird place in my life and so today people in Oudtshoorn will have interesting stories to tell you when you mention the name Paul Andrews (that’s me) to them. On top of crazy I’m nothing if not courageous it would seem.
