1] Tell us a bit about yourself.

I draw funny pictures ever since I was a little kid. I’ve been working in animation for the last 15 years. I’m best known for designing and storyboarding the characters in the animated sequence in the Oscar-winning film “Bowling for Columbine”. From there I went on to storyboard for 20th Century Fox and Bluesky Studio’s movie Robots. My cartoons have appeared in Mad Magazine, Nickelodeon Magazine, Found Magazine, and the “Flight Anthology” for Random House.

I currently draw Silent Kimblys while writing and drawing Children’s picture books and TV show pilots!
