RESUME in (PDF format)
I am originally from Odessa, Ukraine. I lived, studied and worked in New York City since coming to the US in 1990. After graduating from School of Visual Arts in 2001, I went on to work in many different fields: Print design, web, photo retouching, 3d animation, illustration and motion graphics. Right now, I mainly focus on motion graphics/animation that I have been doing for over 5 years. I haven't done much illustration lately unfortunatly, due to lack of time and/or progressive ideas.
Even though my current reel consists of mostly sports graphics for now, I can work in a variety of styles and subject matter. Working at a College Sports Network will do that to you. ha... ha...
Slowly, I am adding new and different work, so keep checking back. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy.
