Mesmerized, I will memorize the lines in your eyes.
Moments escape between my fingers, coloring the sky with photographic feelings.Are these goose bums from the chill or the burn.
I am many things. I am a student, an animator, an artist, a writer, a stranger, a thinker, a laugher, a lover, a daydream believer.
I guess I could start out with where I started. I was born in Huntington West Virginia, I know what a lot of people think of West Virginia but they are very wrong. I grew up around people that were very intelligent, creative and unique. One thing that developed in me due to hailing from the mountain state is a deep passion for the wild. I Pretty much the minute I popped from the womb I was sure of two things. I either wanted to be a vet or an artist. No lie either. I remember being four, drawing pictures of birds and telling my mom I wasn't to be an animator(really said I wanted to make cartoons, I'm not sure if I knew the word animator yet). My love of creatures and art never faded as I grew but at some point I came to realize I could never manage to go to school for twelve years to become a vet so here I am now.
Right now, I go to school to become an "animator". I don't believe a lot of people understand the number of things that have to happen to bring about anything animated, so lets just call me an animator even though really only a few people can be called animators in the animation industry. I really love story boarding. It feeds my deep love of story telling and mixes my passion for the visual arts. Along with that, I also really love character development; you can't have a story with out characters.
Since coming to school I have learned I really love the 3-d arts. Its really what I strive for now. Even though I would be happy doing anything in the field, I desperately want to work on productions. My love for story telling isn't purely visual. Over the years I have always had a love of writing, wither I was good at it or not. For awhile, when I thought I would never be able to get into animation, I had dreams of being a writer illustrator. I try to continue those dreams while working on becoming an animator. I am currently writing a hand full of stories ranging from modern fairy tales to stories through the perspective of zombies. :D While all these are truly my base, I have many other loves. I also have a love of photography and darkroom arts. I try to sculpt whenever I can. I also make jewelry.And we can't forget about painting. Another part of me is my insane love of all things creepy and old. what is better than creepy and old... nothing, I tell you.
The way I see the world
