TheZoologist

Hi! My name is Bradley "Brad" Dotson, aka heatstroke2008. I am a 2013 graduate of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA, having received a Bachelor's in Fine Arts for Animation, and originally majoring in Illustration during my first year at the Delaware College of Art and Design! I've been drawing since sixth grade, at the age of 11, and shortly thereafter, I began to pursue a career in comic books. I am the creator of the Zoologist, a superhero with the power, knowledge, and mastery of the entire animal kingdom, as well as the superheroic Maximum/BAM! Universe. I have Asperger's syndrome, a higher functioning form of autism. As you can see by my profile pic, my favorite things are superheroes, film & animation, animals, video games, and childhood/nostalgic classics!
