>> THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO EXPRESS YOURSELF.

TO LIVE WITH MYSELF WITH DIGITAL BACK AND FORTH.

THERE IS NEVER ANY STOPPING POINT.

YOU CAN ALWAYS IMPROVE IT OR ADD AND SUBTRACT.

BUT FIND CREATIVE WAYS TO GO ABOUT IT IT.

>> I USE THE ENGINEERING ASPECT TO GET MORE DETAIL WITH MY CREATIVE PROCESS.

WE NEED TO ENGINEERING, IT IS ALL ABOUT LEARNING SYSTEMS.

SO I KIND OF TAKE THE PROCESS OF BREAKING THINGS DOWN INTO MULTIPLE STEPS AND HAVING A VERY DETAILED APPROACH TO MY ARTWORK.

FOR EXAMPLE, A LOT OF HOW THE CONCEPT WORKS.

SO COMING UP WITH AN IDEA AND TAKING THE IDEA .

I'M THINKING ABOUT, WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OR THE PURPOSE OF WHAT I'M DRAWING?

THERE IS A LOT OF WRITING THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT.

I DON'T JUST ALWAYS SIT DOWN AND START DRAWING.

I WILL DO A LOT OF WRITING.

IT IS LIKE THIS SO I CAN IT IS A LOT OF CRITICAL THOUGHT FROM ENGINEERING COMING INTO THE ARTWORK.

>> I GOT THE IDEA , COMBINING ENGINEERING WITH ART.

WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH ENGINEERING SCHOOL, I WAS THINKING ABOUT , HOW CAN I KIND OF BLEND MY EXPERIENCE GOING TO ENGINEERING AND WHAT I'M LEARNING AND WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN WITH MY PASSION FOR DRAWING ?

AND I KIND OF FELT A LITTLE BIT OF A GAP MISSING IN EDUCATION WHERE I DIDN'T FEEL AS IF I COULD BE IS HANDS-ON AND INVOLVED AS I WANTED TO BE.

BRINGING THIS TO LIFE WAS ME KIND OF WONDERING AND PONDERING , HOW CAN I EXPLORE THE REALM OF ENGINEERING A LITTLE BIT MORE PERSONALLY AND A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DEPTH?

I STARTED WORKING WITH THIS CONCEPT OF, MECHANICS.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF MECHANICS.

COULD BE AN AUTO MECHANIC WHICH IS WHERE THE TERM MECHANIC COMES FROM TYPICALLY.

IN MY STORE, YOU CAN BE A MECHANIC OF ANYTHING.

WHETHER IT IS A MECHANIC OF SOUND.

AND YOU ARE CREATING ENGINEERING FOR DIFFERENT AUDIO DEVICES OR PIANOS OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BUILD SOMETHING AND TO KNOW SOMETHING FROM SCRATCH?

THE TOOLS THAT YOU USE AND WHAT IT IS YOU CREATE AND EXPRESS AND BRING TO LIFE?

SO STARTING TO BRING ALL THESE THINGS TOGETHER AND IT GOT ME REALLY EXCITED TO THINK ABOUT THE STORIES AND CHARACTERS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

>> IGNITION IS ABOUT THIS KID NAMED ELIJAH.

HE IS A REBELLIOUS KID AND JUST LOOKING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF EXCITEMENT AND ADVENTURE IN HIS BORING TOWN.

AND ONE DAY, AS HE IS SITTING IN HIS CLASSROOM, A JET BORDER DROPS A FLYER FOR AN UPCOMING COMPETITION.

AND HE THINKS THAT THIS WILL BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO HAVE SOME EXCITEMENT AND ADVENTURE AND THIS AND THAT IN HIS LIFE.

SO IT IS ABOUT HIM CREATING HIS OWN JET BOARD AND ENTERING THE COMPETITION.

AND THERE IS A LOT THAT WILL GO ALONG WITH THAT.

BUT THAT IS THE GIST OF IT.

>> I'M CREATING AN ENTIRE WORLD FOR THIS STORY AND IN DOING SO, I DO WANT TO INCORPORATE THE MUSIC SIDE OF THINGS.

I FEEL LIKE AUDIO CAN HELP DRIVE THE STORY FORWARD.

AND SO I HAVE PLAYED AND PRACTICED PIANO FOR A LONG TIME.

AND I CREATED MY OWN PEACE.

I ENJOY THE PROCESS OF THIS.

SITTING DOWN AT MY PIANO AND CREATING TUNES AND MELODIES.

IT IS, I DON'T WANT TO SAY A STEP UP A COMIC BUT IT IS MORE INTERACTIVE YOU CAN BRING IN DOING A WEB COMIC.

PEOPLE CAN CLICK WITH THE STORY AND INTERACT WITH THE DIALOGUE A LITTLE BIT.

THE MUSIC COMES IN AS WELL TO CREATE THIS MORE FULL EXPERIENCE .

>> I WANTED TO BE FREE AND AVAILABLE.

THAT IS WHY I CHOSE THIS PLATFORM.

IT ALLOWS ANYONE WITH A CELLULAR DEVICE OR A COMPUTER TO BE ABLE TO LOG ON AND ACCESS IT.

I WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE AWAY BEING ENGAGED WITH SOCIETY AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, BEING ENGAGED WITH TECHNOLOGY.

I FELT LIKE THERE WAS ALWAYS A DISCONNECT FROM USING THINGS BUT NOT NECESSARILY UNDERSTANDING WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

AS AN ENGINEER, I WANT TO PEEL BACK THE LAYERS AND ALLOW ENTRY-LEVEL AND I FEEL LIKE STORIES ARE A GREAT WAY FOR PEOPLE TO GET EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING AND LEARN ABOUT SOMETHING WITHOUT FEELING TOO OVERWHELMED.

AND TO GIVE SOMEONE A NARRATIVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF LEARNING.
