Personal Summary

I am an Animator (2D traditional and digital, 3D), Ilustrator and Art Director with 30 years of experience in most areas of Art production and publishing, including almost 20 years in the 2nd biggest broadcaster in the world (but 1st in production volume). 

I was born in a catholic family and I was educated in catholic schools. I am married and father of a 23yo daughter.

I'm looking for job opportunities that align with my beliefs in The Lord, Jesus Christ and His Church.

Most of the job openings in my area are secular, to say the least, and I believe that producing Art that shows the beauty of our faith is the best way to be an artist and the best strategy to spread the Gospel among the young, which are also the most targeted by secular and worse kind of entertainment.
