I am an award winning filmmaker who loves storytelling and bringing characters to life. I'm a traditional drafts-man, always drawing and adapting to new technologies. I completed the BA (Hons) 2D Animation course at the University of Hertfordshire in the summer of 2012. I have recently started up JFG Worx providing 2D Animation, Illustration and Motion Graphics services.
