First Post!

Time to get this crazy ol' Blog started I suppose! So, hello there! My name is Ryan Hayford and I'm an animator and artist based out of San Francisco, Ca. I suppose this will be a place to post my thoughts and ramblings. It will likely be animation focused as that's my primary passion, with music, travel, food and whatever else might appeal to me that day sprinkled in for good measure.

About me. I just graduated from Animation Mentor this week and I'm about to head out into the big scary animation world and find myself a jobby-job. My goal is to land at a feature animation studio and get into the movie business, but I plan on doing whatever it takes to get me there in the meantime! You can check out my current Animation Reel (as well as some other short tests) on my vimeo page here:
