Introduction Greetings Internet. I am an animation student. Inspired by many great artists of our time and the generations before us, I wish to inspire others in starting or continuing their artistic journeys, post any insights I find, spread the wealth of knowledge out there and just keep track of own progress and growth. My journey is going to be long, but I know it will be prosperous... *Gulp* I hope... My first love was in visual effects, which took me to 3D softwares, which took me 3D animation which brought me to character animation and my initial love of 2D films. Now like a dog that circles his spot before sitting down, I am gleefully running around the world of films and 3D trying to see all I can, take in all I can, and figure out - Where is it that I will be happiest. My conclusion is anywhere within this "spot" will be just fine, but marrying it to my talents - well thats where this blog comes in. Watch my journey and help me figure it out.
