RIGAMARU


As for other things going on in my life, I am at LAIKA working with some amazing artists. Although in February, I am moving to San Fran to work at PIXAR. I had an amazing time in Portland and made some great friends. It was a hard decision to move, because there are so much talent there, and great things in development, but I want to continue my career and improve as an artist. I love you Portland, and I know I will be back.
