Alison Deal, recent graduate of the Art Institute of Philadelphia, is a traditional animator, though she also works well in Flash.
Alison was born in 1981 in a suburb of Philadelphia, and has spent all of her life in the same area. She is looking to move away to find work, no matter how far it is that she has to travel. She hopes to some day send her portfolio and demo reel to such companies as WETA Workshop in New Zealand or maybe even Pixar here in the U.S.

Alison likes to do conceptual work, and can often be found drawing any number of her own characters on just about any blank surface that she finds. She does want to get better with drawing background and scenes so that she is not so locked in to only drawing characters.

She is also willing to learn other skills to do her job better.
