CREATIVE ARTS

Like every dedicated nerd, I have been passionate about animation since childhood. It is everything one could want as an art and entertainment form, and it is only getting more so. Teaching its history, forms and genres is a pleasure.

Biography

I have watched animation since I was a child and studied it since the final year of my undergraduate degree, having started out as an English major. Progressing from existential literature to Looney Tunes may not have been the most logical step, but both offered me the opportunity to examine the creativity of the individual.
