About
I grew up on Disney animated films, Saturday morning cartoons, and video games. Ever since I went to MGM studios and got to see animators
in action, I knew what I wanted to be. Currently, I'm working as an animator for a game studio in NC. I know I've got a long
way to go, though, so I maintain a blog to keep learning. Constructive crits are always appreciated!
When not animating or drawing, you can find me playing video games (currently Guild Wars: EOTN and Fallout 3), playing piano, or watching
Spirited Away for the hundredth time.
