I was born and still live in Wales in the UK and I currently live in Cardiff with my wife and son who, in the words of Max from 80's classic TV show "Hart to Hart", are goijous!.
So for as long as I can remember I've wanted to be an animator, although for a very long time I had no idea how to go about becoming one. I was working in all sorts of jobs ranging from postman, building labourer to architectural draughtsman, but I had an itch that needed scratching. So I applied to do a 2 year course in animation at the Glamorgan Centre for Art and Design where I specialized in 2D animation.
After graduating I worked for about a year as a 2D animator, before getting a job as a 3D animator in a games company. Since then I've worked in both games and TV and hopefully I'll get the chance to do some feature film work before I retire in 40 odd years.
And that as they say is that.
That's how my animation career has gone so far and I've got no idea how its going to end, I just hope the middle bit continues to be good clean fun!
To be continued...
