Hello - I’m Chris - a 2D animator and visual storyteller from Greece!

I am currently a senior at the Savannah College of Art and Design, with a BFA in 2D Animation, as well as two minors in Storyboarding and Drawing.

My mission, although I strive to get better and learn new things every day, is to learn, master, and preserve the art of 2D hand-drawn animation, tell new, engaging stories, and provide powerful visuals for audiences to enjoy, always with passion and respect for the artists who came before me, while 2D animation finds its way back to the big screen in many interesting ways for future generations to enjoy. I have been in awe of what recent movies such as “Klaus,” “Puss in Boots the Last Wish,” “Spider-Man Across The Spider-Verse,” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” have done in terms of pushing the limits and creating their own distinct visual styles, and I am really excited to see what’s next and be part of it!

In my free time, I really enjoy being outside and observing the world around me, drawing, visiting museums, watching movies, and reading Edgar Allan Poe stories on repeat. I have a massive collection of over 4,000 BETA tapes, VHS tapes, DVDs and Blu-ray discs that, combined with my animation and art books, served as my movie-making database and informed my aesthetic. I also love traveling and gaining exposure to different cultures and art types.
