2017 has certainly been a year of personal and artistic growth. My goal every new year is to draw more and gain more confidence in my artwork. When I look back at the works I posted online, I’m always underwhelmed because I always get so anxious to show things. But in reality I think I have grown more than ever this year.

At the beginning of the year, I really tested my limits with my 2nd year film. Something I learned a lot from but made me question myself as an artist. Now at the end of 2017 I started my first job in animation - something that I really never could have imagined! It’s crazy that I get to meet and work with artists I used to admire in high school, and it’s something that I’ll never take for granted. I hope that my younger self can look at the work I do today and be proud of it - because my present self is proud of it too! I hope I can improve more and more this year and gain even more confidence to do more projects and artwork this year.
