HOW DO YOU TAiLOR AN EXPERiENCE?

tailoring an experience involves testing your art with audiences! being vulnerable, showing it to a friend, getting feedback, even if they dont 'get' it. iterating... coming back to an idea over and over with a critical eye.

stealing from yourself, from others, somebody else has probably done it first. how did they do it? how can i do it cooler?

WHAT HAS YOUR EXPERiENCE BEEN WiTHiN COLLABORATiON?

i have to work in a lot of groups, especially for college classes, and my experience is mostly being the ring leader, pinging people, nagging people to work on the project. i dont envy you! its hard. but be persistant!!! the process and the end project shows for it. i think having regular meetings / standup accountability helps a lot.

WHAT EQUiPMENT AND SOFTWARE DO YOU USE?

i work on windows, using the adobe suite, clip studio, maya, unity, unreal, toonboom harmony and sometimes tvpaint. i have a huion giano wh1407 tablet and a hp envy x360 which I use to make art. I also draw on paper using #2 pencils and ballpoint pens.

WHAT ARE THE PLANS FOR BRYOPSiDA?

my plans, at least in the short term of this summer, are to become more vulnerable and regular with posting things that i may not feel are 'ready' yet, or work that isnt something i consider my best work.
