Combining hand-drawn animation, motion graphics, and comic-style art, I create professional and believable animations that tell a story through each frame. 2D Animation is a beautiful art-form in which painstaking care is put into each frame to create life and movement that only can be envisioned by the careful work of an artist who draws each frame by hand. Calling back to old Disney films and modern-day Japanese anime, my work is inspired by the legends of old. I combine my directing and cinematography knowledge for each piece. While I primarily create animations, I also work in comic book illustration and create general illustrations for all kinds of needs such as book covers or logo designs. I have worked professionally in LA in the film industry and have worked as a graphic designer, book illustrator, and VFX artist. Available Programs: Animation - TV Paint Pro 11, Adobe Flash, Clip Studio Paint Ex, Adobe After Effects Illustration - Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator Editing - Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer Can Work in (If Software is provided): Animation - Toonboom Harmony Illustration - Adobe InDesign Editing - Final Cut Pro 7

Hi, I'm Carolyn, a creative, detail-oriented, easy to work with, fine artist with over 20 years of experience. I have a fine art background in traditional drawing and painting and can also create digital art and designs. I take great care in accuracy, creativity, concept, and design and am proficient in creating a three-dimensional illusion to more graphic pattern-oriented designs and sketches. I am fueled by conveying ideas with imagery and love to use symbolism to explore a narrative as well as layering various themes. When I am working on a project, I am 100% in and often obsessive until the project is complete, so meeting deadlines is not a problem. Though I only used Upwork for a short time several years ago, I am excited to be back and hoping to lend you my services. There are many examples of fine art that I've created over the years, especially portraits in my portfolio. Please feel free to take a look! I am also a massive fan of the Golden Age of Illustration and am good at emulating various styles. I would love the chance to collaborate with you on: Portraiture Fine art paintings and drawings Book illustrations Cover Art (CD’s, Albums, Books) Branding Logos Business cards Letterhead Menus Flyers Posters Brochures Cards Web headers & Web Design Photography and photo retouching/ editing Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile.
