My name is Roy Xu, I am a freelancer specializing in 2D Animation and Illustration. I am a Chinese raised and Canadian Born artist. I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Animation, Film and Video in 2018. I always admired anime works and manga so I traveled back to China after graduating and worked in an Animation studio that sourced projects from big name TV series such as Attack on Titan and Psycho-Pass. After working there, I created an original comic book called Iron Balls Tetsuo and gained 7 thousand views after submitting it to the Kyoto International Manga Contest. I specialize in illustration but I am also very versatile as result of working as a freelancer and have worked on many different types of projects before such as fashion design, product design, logo design, storyboarding and much more. --- **Employment and project experience** **2D Animator ** Thundray Studio. _December 2018 - December 2019_ **Illustrator and Writer** Iron Balls Tetsuo. _January 2020 - October 2020_ **Video Editor** Interscope Records. _April 2020 - July 2020_ **Artist in Residence** ARCA. _June 2021 - Current_
