Artist Statement

"What kind of artist are you?" this question can be as difficult to answer as the question"what kind of person are you?" What I really enjoy doing is making people laugh and feel good about the content I create.  Comedy is and has always been a very big influence on me, and I believe the key to good comedy is subtlety.

 My favorite kinds of stories are the ones that play with time or intersecting plots.  This is a reason why the twilight zone still remains one of my favorite shows.  Sci fi and fantasy in general have always been big influences on me since I was young, and that can include anything from comic books, to classic Greek mythology.   I feel that stories of fantasy when done properly can really capture the mentality or values of a society more than people realize.

 As for as people are concerned, I would say that I am influenced by people who can work with almost nothing but still can make something really good just by depending on themselves, in fact, I enjoy watching internet personalities more than television ones now.  What I like most about them is the passion that they have for what they do.  Even if no one is watching, creating content is just something that is a part of them, and I hope to capture that type of energy in the projects I create one day.

I hope to use this class to further test my creativity and technical skills, and look forward with sharing it with as many people as I can.
