Tell us your story:

I'm an illustrator, teacher, designer, and now animator from melbourne australia. A few years ago I was told I was going to be teaching animation. I'd only done a little bit of it before that, but with the challenge to teach it, I thought I'd better learn it first. I've been working at improving my animation skills to further teach my students and I'm finding now that this is my art form of choice. I can't draw a still image without thinking about movement. It's as though my characters are running around in my head, and I have to tranquilize them in order to slow them down and draw them.
