About me

Hi there! My name is Brandon! But my friends call me Brando sometimes

I’ve been a fan of cartoons ever since I was a toddler. I grew watching Tom and Jerry with my dad, as it was one of the few TV programs that we could watch together and enjoy. I later got into cartoons such as Spongebob, Looney Tunes, Rocko’s Modern Life, and Dexter’s Laboratory.

I have been drawing cartoons since I was 5 years old, and started off drawing stick figures. I often wrote comics of me and my friends, and eventually I would learn new techniques. I always carried a drawing book with me wherever I went, and would sketch cartoon characters in my free time.

I learned how animate through Flipnote Studio on the Nintendo DSi. At that time, I also learned about independent creators. Artists that would make their own content in their room using their computer and whatever drawing resources they had. Some of my biggest inspirations was the Youtube web series, EddsWorld, along with ASDFMovie, and Super Mario Bros. Z. At 16, I got my first laptop, and drawing tablet, and began learning to draw digitally.

I went to UNC Asheville to major in New Media and Design, and learned much more techniques through my peers and instructors.

Currently I reside in North Carolina, working on my animated web series ToonPow, while also working on comics, and making art on some of my favorite media. In my spare time, I enjoy watching cartoons, listening to music, going on walks, playing Super Smash Bros with my friends, and spending time with my cat.

I’d like to thank you for visiting my website, and I hope you stick around to see what content I will produce on here, and please feel free to reach and leave suggestions!
