Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Normally 1st step is inquiring their interest in art & drawing direction goals. What visions are they looking to capture or captivate in their audience
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been drawing all my life self taught from childhood before a toddler replicating & copying what I seen in cartoons on TV by sight then drawing those characters from memory.
To drawing portraits of family & friends at get togethers & gatherings learning speed sketching them without them knowing reading watching TV or conversing to show them by surprise almost as a magic trick!
Then elevating my practice to replicating pinnachle comic book characters you can think of also excercising in various mediums to be a versatile artist. All before any traditional schooling or training until entering THe High School of Art & Design in NYC.
Having a grasp on Illustration studied Architecture for another form of craft though my passsion for animation started to resonate within.
So for colloege continued into Graphic Design for Advertising/Marketing Promotion to enhance my ability & skills in sales & customer service on how to engage a broad audiences for major production & projects.
Now pursuing my BAA in 3D Animation so in turn giving back to earn extra income & further develop my brand I'm looking to reach out & make my services available for people with a desired interest in freehand & digital arts for a job career or personal experience
