Artist, animator, and avid reader.

Self-taught animator and partially self-taught artist, skilled in drawing animals in a cartoony style. I learned some things from art classes, but developed my style and and proficiencies myself. I have been reading and drawing since I was a child, and I have read many books in my reading seminar class, such as Tale of Two Cities, Pride and Prejudice, Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karamazov, Hamlet, and many others. I have also read many different philosophy writers, to name a few, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hegel, John Locke. I also enjoy reading in my own time, typically fiction and adventure novels.
