    i really want to do animation. i'm in love with PIXAR and am hoping this is one of the steps into getting there. so they just base your acceptance on grades like a regular university?

    I think your artwork is amazing. I really want to go to the Academy of Art as well. Is is hard to get in? The application doesn't seem to ask for a portfolio. Did you submit one?

    You're welcome. I'm new to this site and it's really addictive. Pictures and paintings, images can be accompanied by so many words. It's a new artistic realm. It's all inspiring.
