Michael Grassia at Universal Studios, Florida September 2006

Born and raised in Mahopac, New York I grew up with a passion for storytelling. As a child I found more power in the pencil than on the playground and spent a lot of my time creating art and watching television.

In 1994 at eighteen, I entered the art world creating characters, animations, and video content for a small gaming company. Since then, I have worked in many visual storytelling mediums. Today, I am an experienced writer, animator, illustrator, puppet builder and puppeteer, designer, photographer, printmaker, video editor, and director.

I am also a professional educator teaching all ages. My teaching has allowed me to travel as a guest lecturer on storytelling, mythology as it relates to storytelling, character design, animation, and comics. I have also been involved with seminar and course development.

When not working on a story or education, I enjoy spending my free time with my wife Geneen and our cat Jesse. You can find out more information about me by visiting my FAQ page here.
