JAIME ANDREWS I
was born in Durham, North Carolina and moved to Apex, North Carolina at the age of 10. I attended Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia from 2004-2008 to receive my BFA in Animation. I interned on Robot Chicken for a short time, became a graphic arts director for a local company and would do small commercial works for various studios between time I was considering returning to school to further my education. As of now, I am currently a first year graduate student at NC State, attending for a degree in Art and Design with a concentra-
tion in New Media. As an artist and designer, I want to blur the line between the two as best I can; bringing aesthetics for the sake of fine art and the constructive commercial aspects of design together in harmony. As a lover of mixed media in my illustration, I find that the commercial possibilities and audience for such a thing are somewhat limited in the design world. This is especially true with film and animation work. As I work with both illustration and animated media, I am constantly trying to create great storytelling techniques to match with unique visuals that everyone can enjoy
and relate to. I will often times resort to a more traditional style when I’m starting a project, then progress to creating minor changes to create a slightly more modern/design oriented look. I plan to continue working on traditional forms and styles of illustration and animation in hopes that they’ll find their way into the mainstream, creating pieces that people can connect with on a wider scale.
