Tell us your story:

Once upon a time an inventive little boy watched Commander Mark's Draw Squad. That little boy grew up into what I am today: a man with a fetish for animation and a penchant of awkwardness.

I've always wanted to do animation, but only recently have I discovered that I can actually feed myself with a career in it. So I transferred from the University of Oregon, where I was going to be a Spanish translator, to AiPortland, where I've found my comfortable womb. I love all styles of animation, but it seems like the sorting hat has placed me in the Maya House. And I am okay with that.
