Jeremiah Yamoah

Statement

Hey, I'm Jeremiah Yamoah, an animator and illustrator who's been making art since he was 4.

Ape Tape: First WAR is a 2D animated short following Emperador, a scrappy emperor tamarin luchador, as he steps into the ring for the fight of his life. Blending the high-energy style of classic Saturday morning action cartoons with the drama of lucha libre, the film is a love letter to bold character animation, built on a hybrid pipeline spanning Toon Boom Harmony, Blender, and Clip Studio Paint.
