Growing up, art wasn't all that important to Michael Ajayi, who now works as a freelance Storyboard Artist and Visual Development Artist in the Los Angeles animation industry. As a kid, art was just a fun hobby—something for him to do. "When you're that young, not everyone is supposed to know what you're going to be doing for the rest of your life," he says. Little did young Ajayi know, he was a diamond in the rough with a rare artistic talent that would soon be pressurized into a fierce passion for drawing and animation.
