Chris Cosentino is a 3D Generalist, Writer, Animator, Illustrator, and sometimes Actor, with a penchant for talking about himself in the third person.

He’s made a multitude of short form content for a variety of mediums (some of which can be viewed in the Socials tab (press back and click on the phone (hey, brackets within brackets: neat!)))

He currently lives in the UK with his breathtaking partner and in his free time he enjoys TCG’s, watching cartoons, and electrocuting patchwork corpses in his laboratory so that he might one day create new life and elevate mankind into Godhood (only kidding: he has no free time, for he is an animator).

Inexplicably still wanna work with me or just fancy a chat? Here’s my work email:
