I graduated with a BFA in Character Animation from CalArts in 2009, at a time when the industry was shifting fast from hand drawn work to computer graphics. I loved drawing too much to follow that path, so I kept sketching on my own terms and built a career around it. - [Sitemap](https://chriswilsonstudio.com/sitemap/) - [Sketchbook](https://chriswilsonstudio.com/) - [Contact](https://chriswilsonstudio.com/contact/): If you have any questions or are interested in working together, don't hesitate to reach out! - [Thanks](https://chriswilsonstudio.com/thanks/): You'll get an email from me shortly.
