I'm Andres, a Visual Development and Background Artist from Colombia, I have 5+ years of experience and have worked in animation and videogame projects as a freelancer and as a full-time contractor.

Biography

I'm an artist from Colombia, based in Medellin, I built my skills learning from resources online, with workshops and courses, and gathering a small community of artists here to collaborate, learn and grow together. 

I've worked for over 5 years in the industry now, having been a part of projects like Rick and Morty, and Hot Wheels shorts, both as a visual development artist and background artist on 2D productions. I've recently gained experience using 3D in my skillset, and I'd love to learn more about that world. 

I'm looking for opportunities that will help me realize my potential and push my work using new methods further than I can imagine now. I really hope this career camp event can help me connect with more people in the industry and for them to not just hopefully check my work but find new people from all kinds of places in the world. Can't wait to meet you all.
