About Me
Maximus Pauson
At 3-years-old he created his first masterpiece; “Crayola Firetruck” which hangs currently in the Louvre Museum next to ‘Guernica’ by Pablo Picasso. In the years since then; his Artwork has gone downhill. He has become a successful corporate shill, but still finds time to draw for himself. He produces and hosts an educational art channel for children, and currently holds a Blue Belt in Jiu Jitsu.
Growing up, some of his inspirations were Calvin and Hobbes, Schoolhouse Rock, and Futurama. As an adult, his inspiration is feverish anxiety; created from the ticking countdown of death. He also loves nature, and has been known to shed a single tear while watching a sunset.
His favorite thing to design is Aliens, Demons, and Demon-Aliens. He also enjoys drawing caricatures of people at cafes.
His YouTube channel BAM Animation currently has 540k subscribers.
