Resumé :resume:I am a professional animator living in Argentina. I have been working for animation studios for more than 10 years.
I started as a cleanup artist for a feature film that combined real actors with an animated character ("Cartoon Family, The Movie"). After that, I went on working in commercials, TV serials and feature films as an assistant animator for the local market. ("Mercano the Martian", "Los Pintín", "Verano animado")
In 2001, I entered Hook Up Animation Studios for works for the global market. There I had the pleasure of working in two educative Winnie-the-Pooh DVD releases ("Winnie-The-Pooh’s ABC and 123"), the opening for TV serial Lilo & Stich in 2003, and lots of promotional spots for Cartoon Network.
In 2005 I worked as 2D animator for a Mexican feature film ("Una película de Huevos") trough Hook Up Animation Studios.
A year afterwards, I turned into a Flash animator for promotional spots for Cartoon Network again, for "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends".
I went on animation as a freelancer after that. Being on freelance work, I can organize a schedule of my own between the lapses I work for clients:

BioI was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on December 3rd, 1974, so that adds up 35 years old.
My mother is an elementary school teacher, and my father is a graphic designer living now in Ecuador.
After graduating in Mariano Moreno High School, I did 2 years at Luis Ordóñez’s Cartoon School. Fresh after that, I entered the animation business as a trainee with animation director Rodolfo Mutuverría first, and as an artist for the feature film “Cartoon Family, The Movie” after. From then on, I worked in lots of commercials, TV spots, short films, and features.
I’m still living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in a flat with Fabián (my partner) and Nikita and Dalila (our adorable cats). Fabián *fabianfucci is an artist, too. We usually work together. We are a great team.
Other facts about me: 
I don't believe in any particular religion, as I don't need gods with his many rules for life in the light, blah blah.
I consider that this very world and life is Paradise. This. Every religion claims it has the knowledge about afterlife (in the case it exists). Everything is based on faith. To be true, I prefer the mysteries of the unknown. I only believe in the voice of concience, as it is the one thing that tells you goods from bads. Everyone has this voice inside, you just have to stop by and listen to it, in order to be sincere with oneself. That's all. Everything in nature is beatiful, so I'm ok with that and I let other people be ok with that, too. So, I live my life trying to do the things I like - making drawings, animation, training Tae Kwon-Do, going to the movies, and so on. And I try hard to do these things for a long time. I mean, all of this needs many hours of practice, and a lot of dedication. But satisfaction of seeing your projects finished come true the way you dreamed once, is the best paying gig.

I think its really cool being freelance, but being freelance, does it restrict you to doing only small projects? or can you still work on tv shows and such?
I'm studying 2d animation now, only on the 2nd of 4 years, but I don't know if I should go into 3d after that. 2d is mostly about drawing so I love that, but it seems most of the market is in the 3d stuff. What do you think?
Anyways, I checked out all your animations, they are pretty sweet, you should upload more pencil tests haha. But yeah, I should really do some animations on my spare time instead of painting all the time, a mix of 2 interests haha.
The bad thing of working in studios is that you are working all day long on other people's projects, and when you get back home you feel very tired and it's hard to draw something of yours.
I think that if you love animation as an art from, you have to learn every technique, stop-motion included. Anyway, you will never quit drawing.
Where are you studying animation? Please let me know how are the animation schools at your place.
Thank you!
I go to a school in Canada( Ontario ) called Sheridan, I don't know if you've heard of it. It offers a bachelors degree in animation, so that's good if we want to get a job in the U.S. or something. our program mostly concentrates on getting drawing skills up the first 2 years and then film based projects for the last 2. I don't know how well it works cause I'm only going on to 2nd year in september. But 1st year has been fun. Most of our teachers were animators from around the Toronto area (a lot of them worked at a studio called Nelvana). They are pretty pro, although some of them...not so much haha.
but yeah, keep us updated on your status in your journal, it'll be kinda sweet seeing what professional animators do
But it's more expensive, there aren't many people who are able to study there.
Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to submit the work I did for big productions. :/
