The cliché high school party life was over before it even began for me. A night was much better spent watching the final minutes of my sweet render.
​
My name is Grayson Cotrell, I relocated to Los Angeles at the age of 18 to pursue my passion for digital art
​​
I first started using AfterEffects at the age of 15 to create personal training videos.
As I got more and more immersed in the software, I fell in love with the digital
World and made the switch to an aspiring full-time digital artist at 16 and never looked back.
I would bring my small apple MacBook to each class and tell teachers I was using it for reading/homework when in reality I was creating daily renders and learning cinema 4D
​
l was dead-set on attending Gnomon School of VFX and Animation. I dedicated every waking minute to do everything I could to make sure I was accepted into Gnomon. Now that I've graduated, I spend my days browsing Netflix on my couch. (Just Kidding). I work in the game industry during the day and work on live visuals at night!
