PERSONAL THOUGHTS:
Chris Rutledge is an animator, director, and CG artist from Boston, MA, and he is absolutely the type of person I would befriend in the animation community. I really loved how open and willing he is to simply creating anything that aligns with his esoteric tastes. It was refreshing to see an artist who may not necessarily possess all of the traditional technical skills yet continues to find work because he is willing to experiment.
