Oh stop it, you. >:3
Excited to see what more the big JR has in store for the animated world... I've got my Spanish Eyes on you! Keep up the stellar work you powerhouse.
Is it hard to find animation work living in Jersey or do you work from home keeping contact via etherwebs?
Thankfully not too hard now. I live a stone's throw away from NYC*, so I can find & work fo the myriad of studios there. Most of the time I work from home with other studios/clients/jobs from anywhere (like Glensdale CA or Burbank CA). Making connections & contacts, having a network of like-minded folks in animation & the arts, practicing and putting your stuff out there for everyone to see... it all comes together.
The beginning is hard af, but don't ever give up tho. Keep practicing, keep improving, and see your work thru to the end to get it out there for the world to see.
*A really, really, really, really powerful stone's throw.
Thanks for the response and the encouragement dude! Sometimes I really need to hear that. Lately I feel like making a career out of animation is impossible. I too live a stones throw from NYC, about a 2 hour commute. If I may ask one more question; do you have a degree in animation and if so where did you attend? The prices of reputable schools is really disheartening to say the least.
Lol yea I got a Bachelor degree from AI in Philly and it's worthless. Hasn't helped in the least for work in years. The knowledge & skill you gain from school and how you use it is more valuable than the piece of paper you get at the end. Like I said before, its all about putting your work out there and makin' connections.
Not sayin you shouldn't go to college (NYC got great schools for animation like School of Visual Arts)... just sayin' to stay away from AIPH. Stay FAR away from them.
Love your work, man. Glad to see new stuff.

This is a killer update, awesome to see you working for big names like Adult Swim and Netflix, while also doing music videos AND progressing on your personal project. You're gonna be in high demand in the years to come!
