Andy Hickinbottom is like the rest of us. He is creative, with a knack for ‘cartoon’ characters and drawing generally. Logo design became a first love in his teens and he steered his education towards the dream of working it into a career. A hard won graphic design degree at university took up his tertiary years. After graduating though, 3D loomed ahead and Andy was transfixed.

“I realised the potential for this new media through things like ‘Toy Story’, ‘Reboot’ and ‘Babylon 5’,” explains Andy Hickinbottom from his home in Birmingham. “I foresaw a more interesting and exciting career making 3D animation rather than plain ol’ brochure and logo design. I’d been doing 3D, self-taught as a hobby since 1993 and didn’t want to let this goal slide.”
