Animation AF Attack WIP!

You’ve seen my art- but you haven’t seen behind the scenes. My name is Mandy and I am a 23 year old artist and animator from Northern Michigan. I grew up on 40 acres of woody marshland and had more animal friends than human ones. That being said- I spend a lot of time thinking and creating my own worlds haha. I am a huge book and music nerd as well and those influence the drama in my pieces, pushing me to be as expressive as possible.

As for my business ventures- I started my small art business last May from a drive to bring people’s characters and ideas to life. It brings me fulfillment and joy to see others happy. In my opinion and artist eye, all characters are a part of a story relating to our human experience. The ups, the downs, the goods, the bads, and the uglies. I strive to encapsulate that in my work with expression, posing, and character acting.

Thanks for reading a snippet of my story and I look forward to sharing more work with you soon (and more snippets about myself). I usually don't share too much about myself personally on the internet, but I am trying to be more vulnerable to my audience and let you see behind the scenes more ❤️
