•ABOUT

Erik Gilbert DAÏRA

Self portrait, I have a green jacket and a brownish cap on. I am looking at the camera, a grin on my face, my head pressing down on my propped up hand.
Hello, I am a French 2D Animator who graduated from The Animation Workshop in early 2022.

I am looking for work in either 2D Animation Hand drawn or Cut Out, preferably in the film industry, in Europe, Asia, or Oceania.

Music theory and baseball are two things that I enjoy in my free time. But I am first and foremost an avid reader, with a particular fondness for stories about human dynamics.
