Appleseeds, Flamingos & Me...

Hey, I'm Mike Petitto, I'm currently a junior at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I'm majoring in animation. I come from Leominster, Massachusetts where we pride ourselves on being the birth place of two classic American icons- Johnny Appleseed and the plastic pink flamingo. Why a flamingo? I have no idea.

Anyway, like I said, I'm majoring in Animation here at art school. Recently I was talking to a friend's mom about my career choice, she responded with, "Well that's nice, and if it doesn't work out, there's always a plan B." Plan B? Truth is, I've never really had a plan B. I've been drawing and doodling on every bit of scrap paper I could find since I was a little kid. In high school I got into film and experimented with stop motion animation. Art school was an easy choice after I decided that animation was what I wanted to pursue.
