About Me

My Spring 2008 Demo Reel:

The name's Mel, I'm the 25 year old by-product of bonafide Hippies; a fashionably stunted artist, writer, creative concept and character designer, a Christian, a Penguin fanatic, with a pension for obsessive fangirlism, and an astute love affair with pirates and Prozac. I recently decided to get a life (ok, a lie, I've been working towards it for years) having started college in attempts to wrangle a degree in animation and digital media. World domination still pending.
