I am an individual that has picked up a lot of information about Blender, music, color theory, animation philosophies and ideas. I want to be able to share knowledge I have picked up in an easy to understand fashion and allow people to use that know-how for their own projects in a high-quality, well developed way.
I have studied IT and music as both a power user and was in college so I'm well versed in general computing technologies. I naturally have a creative side; I use the computer as a primary means of turning that creative freedom into final pieces, be it still images or music!
