About Me

Hello!! My name is Abi and I am a Junior (Animation) at Freestyle. I draw (duh), animate (duh), but also write and play video games! I LOVE dragons and have been drawing and reading about them ever since I was a little kid. Uhh yeah, I’m a video game addict with a burning passion to tell stories (and yes I have OCs)!! On the left is my dragon sona, and on the right is me in the REAL life.

I am a big person on creativity, imagination and chasing your dreams. I think everyone should follow their passions and what makes them happy. I’m a huge creative person and dabble in all kinds of creative hobbies, drawing, writing, music, video games, editing, etc. I LOVE seeing other people’s art (not just illustrations!)

Currently I am most passionate about making and developing one of my worlds, Paxyo. Paxyo is a fictional country in a very (like millions and billions of years) distant version of Earth. Notably, in the world there are creatures called Baby Earls and they are my hyperfixation right now (and I draw them everywhere!!) Baby Earls are small blue baby dragons that are kept as pets by the people of Paxyo. Other than these stupid fellas, I’m currently designing a (hopefully) unique government system and characters. I hope to completely develop the world one day : )

Baby Earl!! Aw, isn’t he so cute? Don’t you just want to pick him up and spin him round and round? (this is one of the first drawings of him, so forgive me for it being so crusty)

I chose to become a Freestyle student because I really wanted to join a community that was creative! I wanted to take a class where I could make something awesome and something I could be passionate about. Also, I really wanted to continue to get better at animation, as it is something I want to do in the future.
