Art, There has never been an easier way of expressing creativity. It creates a universal language by visually communicating to all. With the simplest tool of a pencil, or the complex click of a mouse, one can create worlds of fantasy or desire. The only way to ensure a future in creativity is to acquire the knowledge, and understand the challenges that lie ahead. Pertaining to my background, I have 10 years experience in Writing, Film, Visual FX and Graphic Design and I am vigorously seeking full time employment. My versatility holds no bounds considering that I’ve written scripts/articles, directed videos, and composed digital art for commercial purposes.

In addition, I was recently featured in the news for an upcoming animated film Im directing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWYCqLp4BhY

My schedule is very open and my salary requirements are not that demanding. I crave a position that pertains to my skill and offers steady pay, yet allows me to become socially extraverted. I pride myself on promptness, harboring an extensive track record, and maintaining a professional work ethic to push the envelope of my creativity. Your time reading this proposal is very much appreciated, and I anxiously await your response!

Objective: Seeking an opportunity to incorporate my creative talent, stemming from a solid personal understanding of functional aesthetics in graphic design, film and animation.
