        Artist statement- All three business cards i created have a connection to what I think I will perform best at if I was to run my own business. I have been around baseball for too long and it is something I love to do as a hobby now since I became to old to play. I enjoy designing shirts for fun and creating cool designs along the lines to wear the shirts if they come out really good. Selling shoes is a fun way to earn some profit as well and i am a big sneaker head and enjoy flashing the different styles of shoes that come out.

 Artist Statement- In my animation we have a dog fetching the bouncing ball in motion and then he puts it in his mouth and chews on it. I am a big dog lover and I have two at home that bring out a specific happiness in me whenever I am around them. I connect to my animation because I always like seeing my dogs play and in the animation made, the dog is playing with the ball by going after it.
