Hi, my name is Brian Ratchford I am a graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in Visual Effects. I am currently work at DreamWorks Animation as a Surfacing Artist. Gastonia, N.C. is where I lived most of my life. I grew up on a farm so I had the choice of either doing strenuously hard labor or become an artist. As you can see I think that I made the correct choice in that matter. My interests other than working on the computer include playing videogames, watching movies, volley ball (I love playing it but I am no where near good), among many other things.
