Expanding his creative ideas and designs he spent three years as a performance artist in the Ohio-based metal group Kaligo and drew inspiration from intense live performances. He moved to New York in June of 2005 to work in film and television. Sean’s recent work reflects his career as an animation art director and painter, focusing on creating humorous characters and vivid color design.
