'Me Playing Guitar' photograph by Dina Ali

A little about myself. I was born in raised in Southern Maryland, right along the Chesapeake Bay; although I was exposed to some cross country traveling during the first few years of my life thanks to my pops business trips. Growing up I anxiously awaited the chance to attend an art school for animation and I proudly graduated with honors from the Art Institute of Philadelphia on September 15, 2006. I’ve been passionate about animation since I was a small boy, when I fell in love the classic Walt Disney Feature Animated Film. I was a HUGE Who Framed Roger Rabbit fan, and would constantly hone my drawing skills by drawing Roger whenever I found the chance. I found my current love for 3D
after seeing Pixar’s Toy Story in 1995. It completely blew me away at the time that computers could create something so realistic. I still find myself in awe whenever I stick in Jurassic Park. When I’m not animating I’m playing music. I’ve been playing guitar, singing and
performing for five years and have a MySpace page that features original music. After you take a look around at my art
swing on over to www.myspace.com/billywoodward for some tunes! Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day!

By the way...I'm a BIG Elvis fan :-D
