Kia ora,
Talofa my name is Kennedy Kioa Faimanifo. Currently I am a Lecturer in Digital Media & Design at Whitecliffe College. I've worked in the Digital Art space for roughly 13 years and have taught in Tertiary education for 7 covering Levels 5 to 7. I currently hold my Post-Graduate Certificate in Design (Level 8) . I hope to finish my Masters in the near future.
A little bit about myself and where my love for Digital Art came from. Basically it started as a kid, my life revolved around moving imagery and it was my outlet. I've always been a big fan of Disney and consider myself a fan of all forms of Digital Art. I was brought up in South Auckland, Manurewa where I pretty much spent my youth living my fathers dreams of becoming either a boxer, rugby player or roofer. I think this only made me have a love for drawing and art even more. One of my life long goals has been to work on a Disney / Marvel project of any sort a personal career goal of mine. I might be able to count my small credits on Avatar 2 as a Disney Project. Tick.
If you check out my Blog/WIPs you will be able to see what kind of hobbies / passions I have going. But outside of work I still and slowly chipping away at my game. "Tridant of Atua" aka TOA. A Demon about a demi-god named Maui who is a war hero who seeks revenge for himself and the underworld. https://www.facebook.com/manatoagames/
I've also officially registered my start-up business "Big Boy Gearz Limited". An online business selling plus size streetwear apparel. https://www.facebook.com/BBGeez/
