When I was first considering becoming an animator a little I wanted to
have enough information to be able to do any kind of animation that I needed to. As I
worked with different methods I noticed that each had its own unique quality. Recently
with the advent of digital animation this notion has been challenged by the industry,
Growing up with animation and animated things gave me the motivation to seek a career
in the field. As a child in elementary school my best friend and would draw pictures of
monsters and sell them for stickers at school. The goal was to get enough to cover our
notebooks. I can remember that some of the first pictures I ever made were my
impressions of the giant monster movies with strange English voice over on TV. Later I
would go on to draw books and books of giant robots and other strange creatures,
eventually animating them. Upon our family’s visits to my uncle in Chicago we would
usually stay inside the house eating cereal and watching various volumes from Disney.
It seems as though being able to draw was a big part of accomplishing my goals, but it
was just something I would do for fun. Influenced by graphic illustrators such Barlowe
and Giger and later mangas from Otomo and ShirowHere I am!!
