Hallo everyone! This is frisca-freak speaking, and you can call me Farida, Friska or Frisky! I'm an English literature student (and yet I have horrible spelling and grammar. Go figure.) who studies cartooning in her spare time. So far, I want to write and illustrate stories so people can enjoy them and to remind them to use their imagination. Storyteller, AHOY!
I also want to try bringing fluid 2D animation to Egypt! All we have are these weird choppy animations full of clones and repeating the same thing over and over. That, or 3D animation with cheesy jokes and cliche storylines.
I have no idea HOW I’m going to do that though; there’s a very low demand for animation here. We don’t even have an animation department in our art colleges.
Anyhoo, that's all you really need to know, I think. If you guys want to ask anything, please go ahead. I warn you though, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to politics, math and science. As for religion, well... I mostly try to stay away from such discussions, but so long as it's a polite one I guess it's alright. I'd rather talk about books, music and videogames.
