AJ Weiland

I’m AJ Weiland, initially a self-taught illustrator, now also a 2D animator who’s been studying under Milwaukee Area Technical College’s Animation program for the past few years. My particular strengths lie in character design/art, comics, and storyboarding. As a child, I always held a strong affinity for all forms of storytelling, and as I’ve come into adulthood, that affinity has only grown with me. Creative inspiration always triggers my imagination so vividly; each and every time that it does, my hand itches to grab my pen so I can bring that idea out of my mind’s eye and into reality.
