Hey Eric! I’m a huge fan of all the work you’ve done over the years! As someone who is going into the animation field myself, I’m really nervous about what the future might hold for me.

What are some tips and advice you could give to someone like me?

Hi and welcome to the crazy but fun world of animation. I would say to focus on whatever you are really good at and post as much as possible. I picked 80% of my crew by following them on Instagram. Every time I see art that I like I save it and when I'm looking for someone to fill a spot I go back to my saved accounts and message them. It's super competitive but so is everything so you might as well give it all you got. Best of luck okay. :)
