ABOUT.
My name is Kaz Blankenship and I am an artist currently located in Los Angeles, California. Growing up, there was rarely a time I could be found without a pencil in hand. Anything I could find became a canvas for my work, and comics were what I loved to make most. This would lead me to take up an interest in both storyboarding and illustration. As a life long fan of art and animation, I currently spend my time enjoying various forms of creative media; including video games, cartoons, comics, and movies. My favorite kinds of stories are action-comedies with larger than life fantastical concepts. After studying at Georgia State University and Savannah College of Art and Design for a couple of years, I decided to move from Atlanta to LA to continue my studies on my own. Since moving, I have taken a storyboarding class under Rad Sechrist, graduated from Emile Cohl Atelier's storyboarding course, and was a finalist for the Nick Artist Program. ------ For business inquiries, contact: [email protected] |
