Embedded Files
My name is Nicholas Amodio—an animator, storyteller, and lifelong fan of characters who are a little weird, wildly expressive, and always getting into trouble.
My love of animation started with shows like Courage the Cowardly Dog, Pokémon, SpongeBob SquarePants, and One Piece. Courage especially shaped the way I tell stories. I love the idea that something can be funny, strange, and a little dark all at once. That mix of absurd humor and dramatic intensity still finds its way into my work today.
Not only am I an animator, but I am also an actor. Theater taught me how to get inside a character—what they want, how they react, and even how they move. When I’m designing or animating a character, I’ll sometimes act out the movement myself before I draw it. If it looks ridiculous, I’m probably onto something.
A lot of my inspiration also comes from my loud, loving Italian American family, where storytelling, joking, and colorful personalities are never in short supply. I take some of that energy and push it into fantasy worlds filled with expressive characters—including an ever-growing universe of anthropomorphic cats.
I love creating characters with personality and stories with an unexpected twist. My goal is to bring that creativity to a professional animation team, keep learning from other artists, and help create the kind of memorable worlds that made me want to become an animator in the first place.
