CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR WORK
Story Artist & Pre-Production Positions
(Comedy, Fantasy, Adventure, Adult, and Ages 6-11)
Hi, my name is Bailey Sitton (she/they)
I'm an animation enthusiast, avid switch gamer, cat parent, 5 star island owner, and was almost forklift certified. I am pursuing a masters in animation but I am looking for entry level positions with a community of funny artists, writers, and animators.
I want to tell stories that uplift ostracized people from LGBTQ+ identities. Animation is a medium I used to cope with my traditional upbringing, and showrunners such as Rebecca Sugar and ND Stevenson who were outspoken about queer representation were fundamental to my development of self worth. I'm also a strong advocate for neurodivergent people and mental health issues. I am currently attempting to develop a pilot for an animated series. My main narrative for the piece focuses on found family and the difficult growth of having to reshape your views of reality and yourself.
