Artistic background

I was an Art major for half a semester. I am basically addicted to the "act" of Art.

Artistic experiences I have had on my travels / Where I would like to travel to experience new arts and cultures

When I lived in the Smoky Mountains (North Carolina) I saw a lot of found object folk art and lawn art. Have had a fondness for it since.

My dream collaboration

Figuring out how to animate the six cartoons I have already created the "cels" for (actually jpeg image files).
