Hi I'm Jack, an animator living in the UK predominantly proficient in 2D Animation, Character Design, and Game Development, with the rest of my skill set being honed from Studios and my own ongoing ventures into Games and Animation.
I have worked on numerous videos that have garnered millions of view on YouTube for my own channel as well as others, this as well as making my own games has given me the extra valuable skill of marketing.
Not only that but I have attended and worked at countless events in the UK and other parts of the world, gaining skills that can only be taught through understanding and actively participating in these events.
This site is here to show off my current projects, past work and skills I have gathered over the years of professional work and education but rather than tell you please click through the site and take a look yourself!
