Hi. I'm Oscar.
I'm a digital artist interested in Animation, Architecture, and AI (The 3 A's). I create computational tools to help non-artists without traditional artistic abilities (ex: drawing, painting) create art & animations.
I'm a Visiting Professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University. I'm also a part of the Research Engineering & Design Lab at Adobe Research where I work on novel video workflows.
