Jazno Francoeur is a polymath: after a career in visual effects for Walt Disney Animated Features, he moved north to teach animation at DigPen in Redmond, where he's also headed the department. He's travelled the world helping DigiPen open new programs in Singapore and Bilbao, and also teaching in Thailand, China, Lebanon, and Japan. He's a musician, photographer, and poet. He's currently our Poet in Residence for November — we've published two of his poems so far: "Via Sacra", and "Fireweed".
