Jesse O'Brien → Kyrstin Avello: Hi Kyrstin, congrats on graduating! I graduated from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh with a Media Arts and Animation degree. Is your school affiliated with the Pittsburgh art institute?
- December 17, 2011
- Kyrstin Avello Thank you, Jesse! Yes, we're a branch of the AI Pittsburgh school. We just have the variance in name because of the museum in town, to avoid confusion. But I majored in Media Arts and Animation as well! :)

This is an animation I have been working on for the past few weeks. It’s still a work in progress, far from finished, but this is what I have so far.
