THE ART OF JOCELYN SARAVIA
NO AI ALLOWED :)
Thanks!
About Me:
Hi, I'm Jocelyn Saravia, a Deaf Storyboard Artist. I am immensely grateful for every opportunity I have to contribute to productions! I've wanted to be an artist since I was four, although I needed more confidence about the specific field. I fell in love with animation around eleven after watching John Kahr's Paperman short film. The fusion of 2D/3D animation styles captivated me, showcasing the effort and artistry behind such a masterpiece.
I'm passionate about making positive changes in the art industry, hoping it embraces diverse ideas and perspectives from people's stories. This encourages everyone to step forward and share their unique narratives, whether about cats, people, or anything else. Let's dare to be unique!
