My name is Shiri C., and I am an animation major at UMBC with a lifelong passion for visual storytelling. Drawing has been an integral part of my life since I was a child. From my earliest memories of sketching to the art I create today, art has always been my language—a means through which I communicate with the world. I started my journey into digital art eight years ago, teaching myself how to use Photoshop.
I'm Daryl, I'm an artist and animator who has been creating visual works for over 15 years. I live in Columbia with my family and am about to graduate from University of Maryland - Baltimore County. I love including queer themes in my work and merging what I write with what I draw, bringing the characters in my stories to life. I primarily work in animation but also do webcomics, illustrations, and video making.
