Gender Male
Occupation Animation Student
Location Sidcup, London, United Kingdom
Introduction Hey, thanks for checking out my blog. Im 26 years old and live in London, UK. My interests are drawing, sketching, animating,art, anything creative. I am a very passionate person who, once gets myteeth into something,...the 'blinkers' are out and I dont stop until the job's done. My attitude to everything I do is about finesse. I have a gorgeous wife and little boy who is now 5 and already knows what 'animation' is. His teacher told me the other day she can't believe how much draws and always finds him with a pencil and paper in his hand....thats my boy! Anyway, I set this blog up, so my close family and friends (and anyone who is half interested) can keep up with my progress at my course work. AnimationMentor.com I just started an 18 month 'Advanced Diploma in Character Animation' and can't wait. Philosophy: Be happy in life, and relax. too many people are far too stressed. Live life to the full but take care of your health. Find a career you love and you're halfway there regardless of the pay!
Interests I like football (soccer), drawing, sketching, general art n desgin and most of all I absolutely love animating. The ability to bring a picture to life is a gift and I want to learn how to do it. I love my family, and taking my wife and 5 year old boy on days out. I like listening to music. I like swimming, and generally keeping fit, although animating eats alot of my time so ive let myself go in recent months.
Favorite Movies All animated movies. Pixar are my favourite. I love Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Cars, ...Pixar rock. I also love Shrek GREAT story and superb animation. Aside from anaimtion, I like american comedies like American Pie.
Favorite Music HipHop, RnB, old school garage, UB40, Amy Winehouse, James Blunt, ...to name a few! Whatever mood im in i'l listen to anything.
Favorite Books Acting for Animators, Animators Survival Kit, Mechanics of Motion, Stopping Time, Gangland Britain....
