I felt that I needed to connect more with other avant-garde artists and animators that would be up for collaboration in the future. Since Vimeo is strictly showcase-driven, LinkedIn being professional, I turned to the art portal known as Newgrounds because of its small but genuine community of content-creators. Newgrounds has been one of the reasons I developed my love for animation hence I have been browsing its submissions since 2010, however was never a content-creator for it. I uploaded my most prideful animations on there and within days I was contacted by an animator with an invite to be a part of his online webisode series "FlowDownStream" whose style and surreal nature is similar to that of Adult Swim's "Off The Air". Nonetheless, although not commission-based, Newgrounds opens up an opportunity for a future professional endeavor as many well-known web-based animators have flourished through this phantasmic art portal.
