Please drop me a line at larkinheather@gmail.com. If you interested in commissioning some project, big or small, please contact me directly at the email above. Once we've started a project, we can communicate via Skype or MSN.
The desire to create great stories through the medium of animation drives my work every day. I am also passionate about the study of biology, ecology and natural history. Ultimately, I would like to use animation to entertain and, if possible, teach something about science.
