Come and learn from Michael! His desire is to teach aspiring Animation artists, not only how to draw properly, and how to build characters, but what does a ‘day in the life’ of an animator look like, what is collaboration, reference materials, and so much more!
Michael studied art at Fresno City College then transferred to Cal State Fullerton where he got his bachelor’s degree in Illustration. Work history: internship at Cartoon Network, then Background and Prop Designer working on Clarence for Cartoon Network. The next 10 years he worked in the animation industry for studios such as Netflix, Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon, Bento Box and Rough Draft Animation; was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for his work on Summer Camp Island where he was Lead Character Designer.
