Filipino Jess Espanola has led a very colorful life.
Espanola has been working as assistant director for the popular American animated sitcom “The Simpsons” for seven years now. The job earned him an Emmy award last year.
However, Espanola had to go through hardships in life before realizing his American dream. Espanola said he led an impoverished life in Pampanga province.
He said that since he was five years old, he knew that he already loved sketching.
“Five years old pa lang ako, nag-drawing na ako. Hindi ko pa nasusulatan ng pangalan ko… ang notebook ko puro drawing ng Batman at Robin,” he said.
Espanola’s talent in drawing landed him a scholarship at the University of the Philippines, one of the premier schools in the Philippines.
