Vaggelis Karadimas

When Vaggelis was a toddler he used to watch the cartoons that the 70s Greek television used to play. Back then, they were all subtitled. Since, his mother couldn’t spend all day reading the subtitles to baby Vaggelis, he had to find another way. And what was that?
Three and half year-old Vaggelis started reading! Who knew that cartoons are not just recreational?
Vaggelis, continued watching cartoons fanatically, even through his university years as a history and archeology student. It was then that he first dipped his hand in animation, and created his first animated gifs.
The year 2003 brought the big shift in careers, when a rare form of cancer hit his left foot. His survival cost him a disability. Once, all that was behind him, he had to find a way to be creative and focused on animation.
Through the years, he realized that that is what he wanted to do. Animation! He started to get into it systematically, educate himself and watch closer. 2011 he started his first online series and had his first short featured in a film festival. 2014 he started the vktoons’ official online channel and his most well known series “In the dungeons”. Later, he got elected as a member of the general assembly of ASIFA Hellas.
He teaches animation online and physically at schools.
