MASON TO ANIMATION

Hi everybody and welcome to Courtney Mason Illustration!

Illustration

My goal is to translate written and verbal ideas into visual imagery that is colorful, compelling, and clearly communicate the objectives of the client. I pride myself on my versatility and am confident in my abilities to tackle any challenge both effectively and efficiently. I am open to creative opportunities in a variety of markets such as but not limited to Graphic Design, Advertising, Editorial, Book Publishing, and especially Post Production for Entertainment.

Animation

My "dream job" is to someday have a career within the animation industry. The holy trio or trifecta of skills will be in character design, storyboarding, and character animation. I have experience in experimental animation, stop motion, claymation, 2D and 3D animation using Autodesk Maya, Photoshop, and Final Cut Pro. In 2011, I received a grant from the Women's Education and Leadership Fund to conduct a study of animation through research and practical application. I learned the fundamentals and foundations of 3D animation through the Ianimate Advanced Character Animation Program and I am continuing my education through Animation Mentor School for Character Animation online starting this upcoming fall 2012.

Innovation

I am very much a team player, but also a self starter and driven towards success. Since I was a child, I was an entrepreneur, a quality I believe I enherited from my father. This sense of leadership and drive has always helped me optimize every opportunity and has given me confidence in the value of my ideas. While I am very dedicated to clients needs before my own needs, I always feel like I have something to learn and something to give.

RAW is RAWESOME!

so RAW did an amazing job at putting on our show.  Although I had to leave work early, drive three hours (which turned into 4 hours) through storms, all the way to Hartford, it was totally worth it.

I met some great artists and individuals, sold 2 pieces, and many interested takers, as well as admirers.  I even made a new fan whose sister works for pixar. All and all, a great networking opportunity, and I was so touched that all my friends and supporters were there to route me on.  I could not have done it without you all and you inspire me to continue to do what I love, so thank you!

They were really friendly and made sure that our space suited our needs and that we had the proper lighting and tools to display our work.  As far as publicity, head shots were taken, an interview was recorded, and we received coverage of the event from the Hartford Courant and Raw Staff members.  We were each introduced on stage and talked a bit about our work and our lifestyle.
