Me circa Feb. 26, 2022.
Hi, I am Griffin DeAngelis. I am 24 years old, and I have been drawing for as long as I could remember. Since 2009, I have been filling sketchbooks to the brim with ideas for characters, species and worlds. Story ideas would come and go over the pages - some bizarre, some extraordinary. I create for the sake of creation.
From 2017 to 2021, I was a student at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, going for a Bachelor of Fine Arts in animation. It was there that I learned the different hats of the animation industry and practiced each part of the production pipeline.
I graduated from the School of Visual Arts in 2021 and earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in animation. I have three films under my belt that I'm very proud of, all of which are available for viewing here.
