I want to share with you this inspiring story of a Filipino animator that I’ve been seeing in the local news lately. Well, he is unlike any other animator out there because he uses his feet to draw. Yup, you heard that right. That is why he’s called a foot animator. Amazing, isn’t it?

Charles Rodriguez was born without arms but was gifted with the ability to draw using his feet. He works as an animator at Take One Animation Studios, under the management of Eric Tansingco, for almost a year now. Actually, Mr. Tansingco have been hiring persons with disabilities for its animation services. What a good man he is.
I’m a self-taught graphic designer and there would be times when I’d doubt my own abilities, but stories such as this gives me so much inspiration. My hats off to these awesome and inspiring people.
