Wayne has always been fascinated with painting. At the tender age of five he discovered a treasure trove of discarded paint cans with which he splattered over everything in sight, including himself. Wayne was awarded a B.F.A. degree in Graphic Design from Concordia University and almost immediately began working as a freelance advertising illustrator at some of Montréal’s largest agencies. He soon developed a solid reputation for being an accomplished artist capable of anything from finished TV storyboards to acrylic and airbrush final artwork, all the while honing his painting skills on a wide variety of personal projects. Wayne later made the jump to TV animation and spent over twelve years polishing his design and drawing skills as a senior location artist, winning a “Daytime Emmy Award” certificate for his work on the popular children’s series Arthur. After teaching himself to use the 21st century artist’s most essential tools he crossed over to the world of digital animation.
