local artists

always curious to know what's going on, animation-wise, here in this grimy city, and so here are links to three animators and a figurative artist who make their home in the whereabouts:

Geoff Beatty (animation instructor and CGI/interactive media artist, University of the Arts alum): Germantown Studios

Ahmad Ajouz's (animation instructor and CGI specialist): Ahmad Ajouz.com

Paul Fierlinger (veteran animator whose work ranges from Sesame Street segments to independent feature films, these days devoted to paperless, admirably sketchy digital animation, most often built around a narrated soundtrack): on YouTube

Dave Krevolin (is an excellent figurative artist, teaching at Fleisher and studying for a master's degree)
