My name is Jacob Kroeger and I am an Animator  from the Kansas City Art Institute. I’ve loved animation all my life, from Avatar the Last Air Bender to Mayasaki’s Spirited Away. I always knew I wanted to be a part of the artistic world, making awesome things and doing what I love, Continually pushing myself to see what I’m capable of.  While I was working on my Bachelor in Fine Arts, I was also working and raising a daughter with my beautiful Wife, whom I love so much. which I believe was the perfect training ground for my future career. I love the texture and energy that 2D animation brings. Its ability to express stories is rivaled by no other medium. I also love using 3D tools and other technology to take 2D animated stories to the next level. I have many inspirations, recently Gendy Tartakovsky for his Frame effectiveness and Precise, Satisfying action. Other inspirations include Studio Mir, Powerhouse Animation, and Mappa Studios, Cartoon Saloon and more. Ima huge one peice fan and batman will always be my favorite superhero! I try to push the limits of not only myself but the animation medium and what it is capable of to hopefully make art and animation that not only looks beautiful but they get lost in the story and the character despite them being lines a canvas. I’m well-versed in Toon Boom Harmony, Storyboarder, and Autodesk Maya, And I use Adobe products daily. Whether it is from Illustrating in Photoshop or editing my animations and projects in Premier Pro. I hope that one day I can use my skills to help you make something amazing!
