Hello! I'm Ray! I'm a professional artist living in Los Angeles with my girlfriend and our spoiled pets. I do storyboarding and design for animation.
In design, I like working with diverse and expressive characters, and I love to do research. In boards, I like working with comedy and energetic acting. I value direct communication, collaboration across the whole team, and efficient, smart approaches to assets so things are easy and straightforward for partner animation studios to work with. I am currently looking for freelance or in-house, full time or part time work, in design or storyboarding. If you're interested in hiring me, please send me an email using the mail icon below. I am NOT currently doing free portfolio reviews or interviews. I really don't like social media any more so I don't have a place where I post my art right now. Sowwy! |
