Background
Aaron Sims founded The Aaron Sims Company in 2005 after leaving his venture with Stan Winston Digital that he co-created with Stan Winston. Sims used his extensive experience as a pioneering artist in the digital era to form his own design studio. After working out of his house for three years, Sims got an office in Los Angeles on the historical old Warner Brothers lot to house his fast growing network of artists and the growing number of projects he was enlisted to work on. In 2012 Sims will be moving his office to a bigger facility in Los Angeles to further accommodate the growing number of artists and projects that he is illustrating and supervising.
