Seventeen years as an animator and motion graphics designer. I believe that software and hardware are just tools like pencil and paintbrush. No tool is greated than another and all have their uses.
Some of my favorite tools: Pencil, Paper, Hash Animation Master, Bryce, Poser, Photoshop, Illustrator, Freehand, LiveMotion, After Effects, Swift 3D and Flash.BIOWe Make Art is a company I founded with my art partner and wife Colleen Dempsey Dotson.
We limit what we do only by it being art. We have designed kid's rooms, greeting cards, packaging, music CDs, websites, catalogs, brochures, posters, videos, animation and fine art. Just naming a few. Check out some of my work at:
