Professional Artist, illustrator, Graphic Designer, Animator, Video Producer, Writer, and Blogger, David Arandle. Online I work under the pseudonym 'The Extraordinary Tourist' or 'TET' for short. I am an emerging authority in the Digital Art and Animation space and a Certified Reallusion Trainer.

I founded my own animation and design service, Art Time Productions, in 1997, and I'm a veteran of using 'drag'n'drop' sites like Vyond (formerly GoAnimate), PowToons, Animaker, Plotagon, and more. I've even run my own business making explainer videos with Vyond for more than ten years.

In 2012 I discovered Reallusion's Cartoon Animator (formerly CrazyTalk Animator) Software, which really is the ultimate 2D animation studio for anyone trying to produce quality animation quickly. Reallusion recognized my ability with their software and made me a Certified Reallusion Trainer.

I'm also a strong advocate for using free, opensource, and low cost software whenever possible. I generally only buy software if I can't find a free alternative. If you think you can't get into animation because it's too expensive you're wrong. There's literally free software options for almost every platform.
