A few years back i decided i wanted to be an animator. This was a step up from my previous ambition of being a sequential artist. After much toil and trouble, and quite a truckload of frustration i was able to complete my education in the Animation field, thanks to the Animation & Design Superior Institute (I.S.A.D. in spanish!), here at home. The easy part was accomplished. Now the tough part began: let’s go get a job.
The Animation industry, as such, was nonexistent down here a few years back. But a struck of luck came my way and “The Studio” got hired to animate a Panamanian Cartoon. I was happy as a pig in shit, because i was gonna work as an animator at last. Granted, this is not the first cartoon produced locally… but it is certainly one of the best. I could not say much at the time… because of the nondisclosure agreement and what not, but now the cat is out of the bag and i want to share with you what have i been up to these last few years, animation wise.
