Jose Velasquez was born and raised in Southern California. Growing up, Jose enjoyed watching Anime, Warner Bros. Animation, Disney films, reading manga, and playing video games. What he enjoyed about animation, manga, and video games were the stories and characters. Each character was unique as was the world they lived in. It wasn’t until Jose took his very first animation class senior year in high school that he realized he could have a career as a animator. Jose wanted to be apart of the magical world of animation, creating characters and stories of his own. Bring joy to others with his stories.
After high school Jose enrolled into a community college to learn about art and design and build an art portfolio. He then applied to Otis College of Art and Design where he majored in Digital Media with a focus on character animation and graduated with a BFA in 2014.
To keep his skill level up Jose enjoys entering animation competitions to test his skills against other animators, attending animation meetups to meet new animators who share his passion for animation, sketching daily to build his visual memory, and learning new software.
Today, Jose is inspired by anime, manga, movies, and video games. He hopes to create entertaining animations with exciting stories, memorable characters and bring the same joy he feels while watching animated show.
