Animating to music

Hi, I'm Ray! :)

I'm a rising sophomore at the USC School of Cinematic Arts studying Animation, with a focus on Character Design and Visual Development.

I'm a rising sophomore at the USC School of Cinematic Arts studying Animation, with a focus on Character Design and Visual Development.I love exploring themes of music and performance — specifically rock and metal — which I often bring to life through stylization and interpretations. Outside of drawing, I'm usually working in a museum fish lab (great for studying creature anatomy!), playing guitar, or hanging out with my two cats.
