Then we settled in Maine, where I lived until I finished high school. Then I struck out on my own, and attended the Art Institute of Toronto, where I received a diploma in both 2D and 3D animation.

So instead of drawing them, I bring my characters and their worlds to life with words, which i find can paint a much better picture than any paint.view less
