History
[edit]Khatam began animating at the age of 14. His first animation was very crude, using a basic stick figure. He studied animation at Rancho Bernardo High School, Palomar College, Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art, and The Animation Academy. His first freelance job was to animate deaths for Gorilla 2: The Return, the sequel to Gorillas. He was then contacted by Conspiracy Games to create a sequel to his own Johnny Rocketfingers. As of November 2014, this sequel, Johnny Rocketfingers 2, has been viewed more than 4.5 million times.[3]
