About Me – I’m a Grade 12 Cyber student that is also in the Arts and Culture SHSM program. Self-proclaimed “Best Artist in CyberArts”.
I’m also an incoming student at Seneca’s Animation Course in 2025. My goal is to become a concept artist, to make work for upcoming films. My interests include manga, music, and etc.
TDSB Animation festival; Pitched my own animation film, and contributed to others.
Participated in the 24 Hour Animation contest.
Currently working with Lakeside Animation Studios as my COOP placement with six other classmates.
Software Skills – Clip Studio Paint, Adobe, Storyboard Pro, and Toon Boom.
I started drawing when I was six, making little Sonic doodles on my homework. Since then, I’m all about impact, and about being the best I can from the artist I was yesterday. I try to make each piece better than the last and strive to make my best work each time. My longest running story has been my script “Demagoguery At It’s Finest”, a collaboration work with my friends back in 2019. “VIGOR THE BAT” is a prequel story. My current personal project is “FLCL – Radio”, a homage from the highly regarded sci-fi anime FLCL. A collaboration work with the same friends from my last project.
