BUSINESS CARD FRONT

Amanda Hildisheim is currently working at the Copernicus animation studio as an animator. She has been working there for 3 years and animated a lot of amazing shows. Amanda’s interest in pixel animation lead to her making “lots of silly pixel gif’s.” At DCAF, Amanda will be exhibiting and  selling some pixel bead work:

Alex Branch also works at Copernicus Studios. Alex has always loved movies like Godzila, Jaws, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Robocop, etc.; and these types of movies and a lot of other pop culture are huge inspirations to him and tend to be reflected in his art. Alex will be selling art prints as well as some buttons.
