Character Design and Animation Director

To whom it may concern,


My name is Edison and I am an illustrator, Character designer, Classic 2D Animator and Directing Animator and I have worked in many features films such as Universal Pictures ''Curious George'', DreamWorks ''Spirit'' and 20th Century Fox ''Anastasia'' and ''Titan A.E.''. I also was a directing animator for several short films including ''Rindin the Puffer'' which won several awards including Family International Film festival in California, 2D or not 2D Animation Festival in Washington, Hampton International Film Festival in NY and two Gold Telly Awards in 2007.

I have designed characters for movies, websites and gaming companies. I have also done 5 coloring books , as well as full illustrations for 8 children's books. My experience also includes two years in Marketing and Advertising at University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. I'm also knowledgeable in Spine Animation software used mainly for gaming and short films.

In 2009 I gave two seminars at the Art Institute of Phoenix (Ai) and I was a member of the Program Advisory Committee for Media Arts and Animation review board for a year. In 2010 and 2011 I taught Animation History at University of Advance Technology(UAT) in Arizona as well Animation and drawing classes at Scottsdale Community College (SCC). In 2014 and I became an Adjunct Teacher at UAT and taught Animation Principles, History and Design.

I carry all my experience for the past 30 years in the animation industry into my everyday work regardless of the medium used. I now work from my home studio doing Character layout and Character design and I hope to be considered for a contractor position. I would be glad to schedule an interview over the phone or through Skype so you can have a better sense of who I am and what I can bring to your company.
