Eric Alesczyk's Page

Tell us your story:

I graduated from Rowan University last year earning myself a Bachelor Of Fine Arts with a Specialization in Graphic Design and a Minor in Art History (somehow).

Now, I spend my time looking the opportunity to use what I've learned to the best of my ability (also, before I forget it all). I want nothing more right now than to be given the chance to really let loose, be creative, and get out there working among others to create something worthwhile and endearing.

I haven't given this site and the community that has come together here the attention that it (and you all) deserve, but I am hoping all that will change soon.

Hometown:

Delran, NJ

About Me:

My name is Eric, though on various sites throughout the internet I go by names like zookeeper21 and slothcommander. That is because I am the creator and sole animator of the original independent animated sloth series known as Three-Toes.

I live in New Jersey, minutes from Philadelphia, and a train-ride away from New York. Ideally, I would like to get a job in one of these places that will allow me to really go nuts and let loose and expand on what I have learned at school.

In between looking for jobs, I maintain Three-Toes, writing and animating the episodes, designing characters, backgrounds, and the website, and voicing one of the two three-toed title characters (Jellybean = Me).
