About ME


Hello! I'm Tommy

My passion in art is for the fantastical, the monstrous, and the humanized inhuman. I tend to favor bold colors, and I love animation and character art. I want my work to have a captivating sense of personality and fantasy.

Although illustration is perhaps my strongest suit, I’d like to continue working in the realms of animation and design in the future as well.

Where precisely my artistic endeavors will lead me, I am not sure, and I keep an open mind in any career path I may take.

University-funded Animation Research and Production (2023)
The Winter Fellows program at UD offers a select group of applicants a stipend to conduct research in their field. During the 5-week winter session, Fellows carry out their projects and present their findings at a symposium. As part of my fellowship, I wrote and animated a two-minute cartoon featuring original characters. I also recorded voice acting for its dialogue.
