A little bit about me for those interested. Still there? Ok, here we go! My name is Martin Beaupré. It sounds French and you are right, it is but I'm not. I was born in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada in the very late 80's and I was raised on an healthy dose of cartoons. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Looney Tunes and a bunch of Disney VHS taught me early that moving pictures are awesome!

After high school where my notebooks were filled with more doodles than actual notes, I went to what we call Cégep in, as you might have guessed, History! Yeah...so after 2 years, I switched to Multimedia Integration where I learned the basics of video and audio editing, graphism and Flash animation. After a brief attempt at web programmation I took all my credits to enroll in the BAC of Art and Science of Animation at l'Université Laval, from which I graduated in 2013 with a diploma and the prestigious title of Bachelor.

I'm now a full grown illustrator / 2D animator / writer running free in the wild looking for new challenges with a couple of projects of my own in my back pocket. To conclude, I will give you some fun facts about my humble self: I prefer basketball to hockey, I have a sweet spot for chocolate and I can touch my nose with my tongue. Yes, I'm that gifted.

PS : If you need illustrations, 2D animation, logos, storyboards, video/ audio editing, feel free to contact me!
