Rowan Guarnagia-Gryder
Digital Media Artist; specializing in computer graphics and interactive media.
Reared on many fantasy and science fiction movies like Time Bandits, The Empire Strikes Back, The Dark Crystal, and The Nightmare Before Christmas (just to name a handful) Rowan quickly developed a fascination with the subjects of stopmotion animation, puppet building, and practical effects. At this point he had already been developing a background in traditional media and along with this he had a strong DIY mentality. Rowan explored a vast range of fabrication methods for his puppets, props, and models but his desire to keep reaching for the next level called for more and more sophisticated materials and processes that he was unable to afford. This ultimately pushed him into digital 3D at a young age as the limits were veritably boundless. Since then Computer Graphics have now become Rowan's primary focus and choice medium for much of his work; though he still returns to physical media for various side projects and explorations.
