Jerico (Irthway) Ibasco
(2000, Philippines) Lives in St. Augustine, Florida
I am a graduate with a bachelors in digital arts and sciences from the University of Florida, with 2 years of experience in various projects among peers.
When I was very young, animation would be the primary form of visual media that I would consume. Bakugan, the first Ice Age movie, Spongebob and Samurai Jack are some of the biggest pieces of media that defined my youth and led to my love of animation.
The movie that gave me the desire to pursue the animation industry is in fact a live action movie called The Mask featuring Jim Carrey. Never before have I seen the soul of cartoon animation implemented in a movie that is not animated.
I have hobbies in video games, music, music creation, digital art, sketching, story telling and animation analysis.
