Hello there,
Welcome to my internet page, this is like a dream come true for me or do I just say finally I have managed to creep out of my ignorance and shyness from actively becoming a part of the online global community but you know what?... it's better late than never as the saying goes.
OK! since I am not here to bore you, I'll start this way - thank you for caring to ''check me out'' on my page and I hope you can understand that ''check me out'' is totally a non suggestive expression.. haha... honestly it isn't, therefore let me also explain that this site has been created as a way to let you all into 'some' of the things I do professionally, semi-professionally and of course non professionally (the latter I do as best as I can).
You may also get the opportunity to have a sneak preview of some best seller initiatives bouncing around in my head space some of which are gradually coming to life and some others are still simply a thought process and probably will remain so.

I am sure you can agree with me that this is going to be a very pleasant and exciting sing-along drive and I hope when you leave this page you are greatly impacted and you want to return soon.
Thank you

Once again thank you for checking here.
My name is Deboh aka Sen, now living in London and lived in Capetown. I am a 3D atrtist and I also run AWA Foundation or Animation West Africa Foundation being the founder. http://www.awafoundation.net
Update - This is several years after I started this page and I have decided to become more engaged with the management and consultancy side of the industry, therefore I have taken the AWANetwork more seriously and i do operate in several functions including directing, producing, consulting and animated projects etc however personally I engage in a whole lot more in the world of digital design and print design.
Coming from studying accounting and being told severally by tutors, mates and bosses that they could see I have something else to offer, I began to trace my steps in the direction think I would love to ultimately pursue ... this direction.
I have had no long form ''formal'' animation training or school making me 'self taught' in a way and therefore I also do sit under experts instructions where and when possible, of course in life you learn from a series of avenues and as such I have watched, read, listened and asked questions where necessary, it may not be where anyone of you want to be tho because the more I learn the more there is left to learn... but its exciting to me.
I do what I do because I want to get things done not because I am obligated to go it and this helps me persevere longer than imagined as long as there is a bigger picture and a sense of achievement in it all.
I believe I am really passionate about bringing ideas to life and creativity. I am a Christian by religion but not religious, I simply hold unto my faith and happy to be saved.
I have interned and done freelance work with a couple of animation studios in Capetown, namely Triggerfish studios and Charactermatters studios and of course Ethereal animation studios which is my own baby studio started together with a friend back in Capetown... at the moment we are working on an outfit to be likely called DreamPixels Studios, in the UK.
Cheers.
Update - DreamPixel didn't work out and my potential partner also left UK.
