Full intro

Hey everyone! I'm Gai, from Japan originally. I've been traveling and hitchhiking all over. It's been about 5 months since I landed at a hippie commune in West County, CA. I was living in Alaska before coming down to the lower 48. Thinking about making animation at PDKU. Here are a few old 2d animations I made long ago without AI: youtube.com/@micrawstudio. Excited to meet you all and make some cool stuff together!
