My name is Claire Prendergast and I live in New Lenox, IL. It's a very small town next to Joliet. I take the Metra into the city four days a week to attend the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago. I am majoring in Media Arts and Animation. I know that I'm not the best artist out there, but I'm working hard to improve. I really care about what I do.

I really want to make cartoons for a living because I think it's the best way to tell a story. In animation, pictures are paired up with words and music to get a message to the audience. All kinds of media become one to tell the viewer a story, and it can be very beautiful.

I'm working on uploading all of my new projects, but my scanner doesn't like my laptop and I don't like my desktop. I do have a lot of new things to put up from my classes at Ai. Please look forward to watching me improve!
