Hi, my name is Johnny. I am an BFA Animation and Multimedia student from William Paterson New Jersey that specializes in animation. My favorite type of work is depicting people and scenes of the medieval type and the high fantasy, mythical era. I am a huge Dungeons and Dragons nerd and have made most of my work inspired by that concept. I love designing worlds and characters with backstories and life to them and once I come up with these people and artificial lives inside my head, I can’t help but to put them to paper/ Photoshop and transfer the images swirling in my head to physical media. I have planned storyboards and comic drafts based around these ideas and find myself flushing them out more and more every chance I get. I like Creating in a simplistic design, so as to not over complicate for animation. Most of the pieces I make are of a character in situations that I have dreamt up for them in my head and the stories I write, and one day will put into animated form. The medieval appeals to me greatly with tales of the little people overcoming incredible odds and I usually design my characters to be the same way, underdogs of their own personal story. All my original characters have their own thoroughly developed stories that I try to show in the emotion behind scenes in the art I make. After developing my skills over the years I have pursued this style with the plan to make an original story of my characters one day.
