"Serapio was a joy to work with during my time on The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse! He proved to be increasingly proficient with each new episode and made it fun, especially with the Autumn Special, which had a very tall order for designs. There came a point where he hit a stride and became very in-tune with what the special poses, turnarounds, and props needed as we were having more frequent handouts for a complicated sequence. Check out the "pumpkin carnage" scene and you'll see what I'm talking about. I was lucky to work with him, especially when things got busy. Great at applying notes too! Serapio has a keen sense of shape language, character, and functionality in his work. It speaks for itself!"

Owner, Titmouse, Inc.
"Serapio is awesome. He can draw circles around the average designer. Not only can he rock any style, but he's a great addition to the morale of any workplace. He's just damn fun. He'll do caricatures of his coworkers, play the guitar at his drawing table, run around telling jokes and still get all his work done on time. And top notch quality too. Serapio is a superstar."

"Working with Serapio was incredible - he created the first piece for our ‘Festival of the Polaroid’ over at Mouse Polaroids on Instagram. We were looking for artists who could breathe new life to our polaroid shots taken at Disney parks by skillfully decorating its’ frame. Serapio picked out our Mickey & Minnie shot and took it to the next level. We were honored to work with a Walt Disney studios animator and hope to work together again in the future! We highly recommend Serapio for those looking to work a professional animator and all-around great person."
