Nic Parris is an East Coast artist from Virginia now working on the West Coast currently working with Nelvana and Nickelodeon. In the past, he's worked as a Graphic Designer, Flash Animator, Storyboard Artist, and almost every position in pre-production at some smaller studios. He jumped to the big leagues in 2016 working on shows like Teen Titans Go!, Trolls: the Beat Goes On!, and The Casagrandes. What really helped Nic’s social media gain followers was his e-book on Gumroad called Let’s Learn Some Storyboarding. When he isn't storyboarding, he likes to work on character designs and comics, watch cartoons, and stream on Twitch as Nicmundo.

I would describe myself as a person who loves meeting new people, and enjoying all things related to art and animation! When I first discovered 2D Puppet Animation/Cut-Out animation, it was love at first sight — or rather, love at first rig! Rigging and Directing are my favorite parts of the animation process. Whether it's crafting a movable character/object from a completely static image, or directing an animated production, both are extremely rewarding experiences in which I'm improving upon daily. It's for these reasons that I aspire to be a Director and/or Technical Rigging Supervisor post-university!

I'm a 2D Animator and Rigger, but I am also a content creator. I do esports broadcast production, composing for media, and even motion graphics on occasion. You could say I am a do-it-all guy! Right now I'm doing freelance animating for smaller studios, but I've been fortunate to do scene planning for Wild Kratts at 9Story and animating for Jeremy Fisher Junior at Smiley Guy! Oh and learn portals videos for Toon Boom. What I love about animation is how current tech lets you get so much out of it without sacrificing quality.
