I'm a Production Coordinator for a children's Animation company here in Wales, UK. Currently I'm working on Rastamouse and Abadas, along with another yet to be aired series. I absolutely love my job, the studio and of course, the people, and I hope it continues for the rest of my career!
For the last 6 or so months I've developed a fear of humiliation which has stopped me from drawing or producing any sort of personal artwork, so I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I'm slowly getting back into it though.
Please feel free to visit my website, though it takes forever to load and hasn't been updated in ages! haha...so, maybe, don't. But anyway, I'd love to hear from anyone that can teach me something new about the industry (or in general!), or anyone who would like to know what it's like to start off in industry in this current climate.
