My name is Cody Hawley
I am currently studying animation at KCAI as of Sept. 2011.
I have been animating for over 6 years now, and I have been drawing for much longer than that.
My first comic was made sometime in 3rd grade, featuring two very simple, geometric brothers: Spike and Archie. One wearing blue and the other orange, respectively. They were heavily inspired by Bill Watterson's "Calvin & Hobbes" comics, with a pinch of Danny Antonucci's "Ed Edd n Eddy" and Genndy Tartakovsky's "Dexter's Lab". Spike and Archie begat my longest running idea baby, the Chaos Chronicles (which was inspired from Spaceman Spiff). The Chaos Chronicles is my most well known series between my oldest and greatest friends.
After Chaos came an explosion of creativity, and a great need to fabricate every idea's world. The amount of creativity generated increased tenfold when I started collaborating with my friends, and taking my own creations further by actually giving them movement by teaching myself Flash.
I would love to start an independent studio with them all, and share with the world what we are capable of creating.

Most of the artwork is geared towards making a TV show or even something as small as a Flash series. Concepts to fleshing out their universe, understanding how they interact with one another, and generally try to create something original and pick at it and feel where it can pull the entire idea of the universe in different directions. I have hundreds of ideas, and I constantly add and subtract from each one to fine tune to perfection, and hopefully have a masterpiece from the foundation up; from start to finish. So its not about the finished piece as an end product, but a finished piece as a whole. Its about the processes and steps I took to reach a polished and desired creation.
