I have done art since i was able to hold a pencil. I took art class from 1st grade through 12th grade. After high school I moved onto The Art Institute of Philadelphia where I received a bachelors degree in Media Arts and Animation. I took an internship at Nickelodeon in NYC where I worked on website graphics and animations for www.nick.com and www.pacificcoastacademy.com. I worked in Wildwood NJ on the board walk doing airbrush, henna, and face painting. I worked at a Think Up/Geewiz toy design company as a concept artist and animator. I have done many freelance projects from children's illustrations to character designs, logo designs, animation shorts, product development and custom acrylic paintings. I worked as an art teacher at a juvenile jail in South Jersey, Costello Prep. I also was a Flash Animator/Graphic Illustrator at Splintertek/Lockheed Martin. I am now living in San Diego CA and have started my own company, Krystal's Creations. I offer creative services from painting murals at business' and homes, to doing live performance painting while bands play, to graphic design jobs, and custom painting projects. I am focusing on building my business with a goal of opening an art studio.
