Cameron Asao dropped out of Ringling College of Art & Design in order to spend more time painting in a warehouse in Kansas City with a collective of world class illustrators and their experimental art school. There he managed to become a decent vacuum salesman and manufactured bullets. When the school closed, he moved to Oregon and found work manufacturing sushi. 

The people over at the Academy Award-winning LAIKA Studios saw his bullets and sushi and gave him a shot at painting film sets for their stop motion animated films. The folks over at Netflix Animation thought Cameron was a decent guy and hired him to paint even more film sets for a Jordan Peele / Henry Selick movie. 

He sent Wieden + Kennedy an egg and they hired him, particularly because he had no advertising experience.

He’s writing this to make sense of it himself.
