… Elizabeth Ito before today?

We’ve known Elizabeth Ito for a few years as she’s bopped around at places like Film Roman since graduating from CalArts. I’ve bookmarked her blog and I check it every morning. She won the Producers’ Choice Award in the very first Nicktoons Film Festival way back in 2004 for her student film “Welcome to My Life”, which then slipped into development for a time at Disney Family Channel. I tend to gravitate towards artists whose styles evolve over time, and Elizabeth certainly fits that category. She’s still young and finding her footing in the animation industry, and, as you read her blog, you’ll see hers is a bright talent in search of a home and good fit. Sometimes I wish I could leap forward twenty years just to see where artists whose work admire wind up in this crazy old world. I can’t wait to see what Elizabeth has in store for us.
