Dead Sound

About me:

My name is David James Armsby. I was born in May 1996, in Scotland.

I was homeschooled and spent all my teen years inside, learning new skills and working on elaborate projects. This is when I learned to animate, draw, paint, sculpt, make films, etc.

All my animation and film-making skills are self-taught. I started animating in 2012, and through a monumental amount of trial and error; I managed to learn how to create original films on my own.

I went to study 'Art and Design' at my local college in 2015 covering fine art, still life, basic drawing skills, and sculpture. I had to start at the bottom of the academic ladder because of my lack of formal qualifications. I was far beyond what they were teaching, but I was going more so for the social and life experience. The one thing college taught me was the importance of sketchbooks, which has since become a huge part of my creative process.

I left college in 2019 and have since made Youtube/Patreon my full-time job.
