Biography

I was born on May 28, 1993. I was diagnosed with autism at an early age. During my childhood, my mother tried to teach me about life by showing me some videos. Many of these videos featured animated cartoons; both films and television. As I continued to watch these videos, I began to see the cartoon characters as my only true friends. Also, during my childhood I loved to draw. I would often draw many pictures in various sketchbooks, most of which would be colored in. As I grew older, I imagined turning my drawings into movies and television. Soon, my love for drawing and my attachments to cartoon characters caused me to find my destiny; 2-D hand-drawn animation.
