BILL LONG

After graduating from RISD, I moved to New York City and started out painting backgrounds for MTV and Nickelodeon. When I was first hired, we were using traditional paints and watercolor on paper. Years later we had moved almost entirely into digital painting with Photoshop and Illustrator. I got really into making art using computers and taught myself how to use After Effects. I started animating my own characters, providing voices and sound effects, while writing and recording my own original music. Giving people enjoyment with my artwork is my ultimate goal and my greatest joy.
