Uriarte told the Activision Games Blog that his passion for photography and art (including the popular Terminal Lance comic series) as well as his personal journey both in and out of the Marine Corps informs his creative endeavors.
“A friend of mine at We Are The Mighty reached out to let me know that the Call of Duty Endowment was looking for a veteran artist to do a project,” Uriarte told the blog. “So he connected us by forwarding my portfolio over and they contacted me about the project. I was so excited to work with them! Not only am I a big Call of Duty fan and gamer, but the work the Call of Duty Endowment does is great for the veteran community and I was happy to be involved in any way I could be.”
Upon returning home from his first deployment in Iraq, Uriarte said he bought a PlayStation 3 and played Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
“As a theme for PlayStation 4, I wanted to do something that invoked a mood much like some of the best moments in the Call of Duty games,” he said. “I wanted to capture that feeling of anticipation at the moment the flares light up and the Marines get ready to assault.” A photograph is objective — it shows reality.
The Call of Duty Endowment is a non-profit organization co-founded by Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard.
