Hello, I am an animator who has multiple years of study under my belt. My specialties are performance animation and using different techniques to achieve my goals.

    I plan to create a series of comics/animations that feature musically talented people that shows the readers what true friendship and humanity can do. This series 'Mainly Idol' will show the lives of characters who live near a cafe and go through problems with locals who are plighted with strong negative emotions. Using song and dance with lessons, these characters will show the readers how to be emotionally vulnerable and see the world as a beautiful place. I want this series to be an escape for people who have less hope in humanity. I believe that the only way to overcome our difference as a people is to respect each other and see that we are all one in this place. My series is supposed to show the ways we are the same, how all of us are susceptible to being rude or negative; and how we can overcome these negative feelings.

    Arts education has impacted my life ever since I first picked up a pencil at 5 years old. after showing interest in the arts, my grandmother had supported me the most in pursuing any art education I wanted. drawing was introduction to art, drawing everyday and showing my progress to my grandmother. In school, we would learn about the different techniques to create our pieces, and after, I would show my grandmother how and what I learned. one day, I discovered my love for string instruments, specifically, the violin. at the age of 9, I started playing the violin. I would learn how to play everyday in school; an hour out of school. my Grandmother would enjoy the concerts I performed for her, making me practice until i corrected my notes. this went on until I could read sheet music, making me eligible to join an orchestra at age of 11. Every week my grandmother would drive me to the high school that held practice for 2 hours. we would play classical pieces for our instructors up until the day the orchestra was scheduled, perfecting our posture, and making our Arco and plucking nearly perfect. on the day of the orchestra, My grandmother had braided my hair into a professional style and bought me my first collared shirt that wasn't for school. after my performance, I was taught to keep up my craft in music, as i was one of the youngest violinist that played not only in the orchestra, but for my elementary school. After my musical arts education, I was given the chance to attend Pittsburgh CAPA (Creative and Performance Art), being taught Visual arts by multiple professionals. I was only able to continue my craft because my grandmother personally helped me study; she not only gave me the courage to continue, but she also gave me all of my art materials to thrive. Now that i'm at an art college, my classes have shown me what its like to be taught by the best in the world. from former Warner Bros. workers, to Disney animators, My professors have molded me into an artist with more skill than ever before. When I show my grandmother the process of my animations, she tells me how she perceives my art. The combination of my Industry taught professors and my grandmothers' admiration for my art has pushed me into pursuing my craft. Now, I am not only a skilled animator, but an animator who loves his craft and the people thats helped him.
