Artist Statement
My whole life I was always fascinated with drawing. I would sit in front of the television with a bowl of cereal, box of crayons, and a notebook. As I was drawing one day, someone in my family told me I could have my drawings on TV. Filled with excitement, I remember looking at the back of the television set, wondering where to insert my drawings. As I became older my childhood thoughts of having my drawings on TV came back into my life. Animation and drawing is my love and passion. To see a simple drawing come to life with movement and emotion all with the use of a line fascinates me. One of the major strengths I posses as an animator is the knowledge of human movement. Sports and fitness has always been a part of my life which has helped me understand the human body and its movements better than any artist anatomy class. Now I am combining two of the things I love within a character, to fulfill that promise I made to the boy who wanted to see his pictures on TV.
