about insanity surplus
Hello my name is Aaron and I tend to get carried away with ideas... but in a good way.

I'm an animator, editor, designer, producer, director, and makeup artist. And sometimes I declare to be a small god (Terry Pratchett reference...Great writer.)

Seriously though, my philosophy in life is why stop when a brick wall presents itself, whether in a project or just running around town, I begin to try inventive ways to get either around, over, through and/or under the wall to the other side (sometimes it’s a multiple attack.)

I enjoy challenges and sometimes will seek them out purposefully, but only if I'm really, really bored.

Otherwise I tackle new ideas and challenges head on and sometimes will even stay up for a few days until I figure out the problem. Everything that I interact with on any given day I will find ways to draw inspiration from for another art project or doodle. This tends to leave me in a bit of a state of flux and also leads to some interesting adventures.
insanity surplus, that's an interesting name...
Insanity Surplus was born out of shear boredom one day when I was doodling as a kid, I didn't do much with the idea until after I graduated from Vancouver Film School's (VFS) 3D Animation and Digital Effects program. From Vancouver, I took an interesting trip to Chicago and then ended up in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Where I ended up falling in love with the semi-small town and the music scene in the area.

I saw a need for affordable animation and art design in the Chippewa Valley, and frankly everywhere else. I may be a one-man band, but I put forth a lot of effort and come up with designs that are ahead of project deadlines, and within budgets.
