Thanks for stopping by. Here's a brief bio of mine.
My name is Otto - freelance designer/illustrator. I have been professionally working in the visual art field for 4 years. I was born in Hong Kong, and moved to Vancouver, Canada when I was 15. After graduating from Emily Carr Institute with a BA of media art, I have relocated to Los Angeles in 2003.
I spent the first 2 years of college jumping around majors until I settled in the film and video department (which they like to refer it as media art.) Thinking I would be making movies, I moved to L.A. I landed my first job at yU+co. as a graphic designer. They are a motion graphic company producing opening sequence for TV shows, motion pictures and TV commercials. During my 3 years at yU+co., I had a chance to involve with major productions like Catwoman, Shaggy Dog, Desperate Housewives etc. etc. I was mostly involved in drawing storyboards and preping 2d art for animators. I left yU+co. for Titmouse Inc. at the end of 2005.
I realized that I want to draw and paint rather than cut and paste.
With the experience I gained from my last job, I was hired as a background painter at Titmouse Inc. They are an animation studio, which recently produced 20 episodes of Metalocalpyse for Cartoon Network. I spent most of 2006 painting backgrounds for this porject.
Never thought I will be coloring for living, but I truly enjoy what I have been doing. Thinking that I may not be a film maker anytime soon, I statisfy my story telling need by drawing comic strips. Although never publish... but some day, hopefully some day...soon.
