I am Silas Nicol. More than anything else, I am someone who creates stories. I use 2D animation as my primary medium, though I can pick up a new software or medium easily. I am a storyteller because I believe that within our lifetimes we will be exposed to our reality in a very restricted manner. Most of us will never know what it is like to fly, to worship something inanimate, or to have our wellbeing tied to the health of another. We are a culmination of our experiences, and I effectively aim to help people expand their understanding of the world. Even if this just by guiding their thoughts and considerations towards un-tread territory.
