Dudes I graduated with

Hey all

I just finished an email to someone who visited with her daughter asking about the school I went to for animation, getting work in animation or as an illustrator etc...

So I compiled a list of people I knew from my class @ animation school to show the diversity of where such a career path can take you. When I was done typing I thought that's a pretty badass list, so I'm posting it again here cuz its interesting to me and there's tons of super kickass art in there.

Enjoy!:

someone who liked doing background paintings... he started getting jobs and really pushed himself hard and is now one of the best around:

someone who was not that good at Sheridan but somehow found his groove after and became a marvelous artist. He directed an animated video for Nelly Furtado, which is GREAT, among other things:

Here is the studio of a friend who bought a warehouse after graduating and started his own animation and CGI/FX studio. He has grown it beautifully and now they have their own greenscreen studio etc and are doing great:

This guy was 1 year behind me, but I was always impressed with his drive and ambition to be what he wanted to be. He really loves drawing and painting and creating, and his marketing and social skills to develop networks of people and to create teams and projects was really fantastic.

After graduation, one person I knew went out to Halifax and started his own studio (I don't know how). But he invited a bunch of classmates and about 10 of them all went out to Halifax and built a little animators community (Bradley Cayford was there too) The studio is still going and they are doing lots of fun projects for those who love pure animation:

This guy here is one of my best friends. For some insane reason, he does not have a website, but has worked on so many cool projects I can't even begin. He does however post under the name 'Finalli' in that SketchClub community I was telling you about. He does a digital painting on his ipad every day, just for fun and development. Here is the gallery for these 1-a-day paintings:
