DAYDREAMING
Loading ...I draw monsters all day. I create stories of the monsters i imagine and all the time I’m thinking of making short films about them. I work in the entertainment industry as a motion graphic designer, animator and director, and with the help of my awesome team of fellow coworkers I was able to bring my vision for “Daydreaming” alive. I hope that one day I direct movies with monsters in it.
