Hello! I'm Charlie Bickett, nice to meet you!
I'm a multifaceted Animator, Artist, and Programmer from the United States!
I've worked on a variety of different freelance projects and teams, like animating on Helluva Boss, Haminations, Ollie & Scoops, and programming for Jan Animations & Pencilmations!
You may also know me from some of my personal projects, like Boiler for Adobe Animate, or The Animate Archive!
Most recently, I've joined Jackbox Games as a Technical Artist, working on creative solutions to engine issues, creating workflow tools, and making some awesome art / animation for games and marketing!
