A little about ol' Me

Hey I'm Matt Cumming, my favorite animations consist of Afro samurai, Invader Zim, Family Guy, Drawn Together, Death Note and the Madness series. However I am also a new comer fan of the Studio Ghibli films and many other well known Japanese animations. My favorite animators are Johenen Vasquez (Invader Zim, JTHM), Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad), Matt D Jolly a.k.a Krinkels (Madness series). In general I find myself attracted to "dark" animation styles, like that of my favorite cartoonist / animator, Johenen Vasquez. I love his quirky, satircal, dark animation style and his use of sharp edges and patterns. Afro Samurai has another great unique style with a fantastic story.

I would love to study animation because it is the very few career options i believe I would thrive in. I have been cartooning in primary school and discovered Flash at the beginning of highschool. The thing that I believe attracts me most about animation is that it has possibilites to create any character and any setting that you feel fit without haven't having to apply the restrictions of film. I can't wait to get as deep into this course as possible.
