... Read moreMy journey into the world of animation and art wasn't a sudden leap, but a gradual, passionate immersion. From doodling in notebooks to bringing characters to life frame by frame, it's been an incredible adventure. Many people see animation as just cartoons for kids, but for me, it's a profoundly intricate art form, a dance between storytelling, visual aesthetics, and emotional resonance. When I think about "animation and art," I see an inseparable bond. Every single frame in an animated piece is a drawing, a painting, a sculpted model, or a meticulously crafted digital composition. The principles of art – composition, color theory, perspective, anatomy – are fundamental to making animation compelling. It’s not just about movement; it’s about creating an entire world, imbuing it with feeling, and guiding the viewer's eye through a visual narrative. This fusion of static art and dynamic motion is what makes animation so uniquely powerful. It’s where my "art persona" truly thrives, allowing me to explore different styles and expressions. But what about the "purpose of animation"? Beyond entertainment, I believe animation serves a much deeper role. For me, it's a vehicle for communication, a way to convey complex emotions, ideas, and stories that might be difficult to express otherwise. It allows us to explore fantastical realms, tackle sensitive subjects, or simply bring joy and wonder to an audience. My original characters (OCs) often become extensions of my own thoughts or observations, allowing me to project different facets of my personality or comment on the world around me. They are my silent collaborators in telling these stories. There are days, many days, when I feel "Me being tired 24/7." The deadlines are tight, the revisions are endless, and the creative well sometimes feels dry. Yet, there’s an undeniable pull, a deep-seated desire to see my vision materialize. That's where "My art persona" kicks in – it’s not just a character I draw, but almost a separate identity that helps me push through the exhaustion. It's the part of me that sees the bigger picture, the potential impact, the pure joy of creation. This persona allows me to compartmentalize the hard work from the pure, unadulterated passion for bringing something new into existence. The purpose of animation, for me, is also about connection. It's about creating something that resonates with others, something that makes them laugh, cry, or simply feel understood. When someone tells me an animated short I worked on touched them, or that they relate to one of my OCs, that's the ultimate reward. It validates all the long hours and the moments of self-doubt. It reinforces the idea that what I do, though often challenging, has meaning. So, while the world of animation can be demanding, requiring immense dedication and resilience, its purpose is profound. It’s an art form that continually pushes boundaries, inviting both creators and audiences to dream, to feel, and to connect on a deeply human level. And for me, navigating that space with my art persona, even when I'm tired, is exactly where I'm meant to be.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have my ANIM 382 class! Which is a 2D animation course focused on digital production+compositing! It’s a super laid back class but still a lot of work. Great environment of creative people! There’s about 8 of us, being that it’s summer and most people are home for break.
