Early Career
After graduating from Otis College of Art & Design in 1998 Terrance took a job at Sony Animation drawing storyboards on such animated television shows as “Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles” and “Max Steel”. Creatively frustrated, he left animation in 2002 to pursue freelance illustration gigs, including work on Fox’s television series “Bones.” As a storyboard artist he worked on live-action films such as “What We Do Is Secret”, about the legendary punk band “The Germs”, and “Into The Wild”, directed by Sean Penn. He also worked part-time teaching drawing and painting in [Calabasas, California].
While transitioning from studio work in animation to life as a freelance artist, Terrance enrolled in an acting class at South Coast Repertory Theatre where he met future collaborator [Darren Smith]. Together, they formed "The Gallery" and began writing and performing theatrical rock music in the form of ten-minute operas. As a duo they played the Los Angeles club/theatre scene. Inspired by the popular response to their ten-minute opera, "The Necro-merchant's Debt", they decided to expand their vision into a full-length theatrical format. This laid the seeds for Terrance’s first major work, “Repo The Genetic Opera”.
