about

My name is Matt. I'm an interactive designer, and I make things move. I'm not an Animation/Illustration major although I have a great love for animation, but a Digital Media Art major. I find animation fascinating, and physics even more so. This blog was created for Art 123 - Physics of Animation at San Jose State University.
