What is your name and your current occupation?
Hello. My name is Patxi Peláez and I work as Character Designer and Visual Development.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
In my student days I worked part time as a waiter in different cafes and pubs of my town.I even worked on the beach putting drinks… sounds fun, but it was a shit.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
I have worked as character designer for feature films and TV series, as illustrator and comic artist, 2D animator and story boarder,here in Spain. I am not particularly proud of either. I always hope that the next project will be better than previous, and to do my job better.  Anyway, I’m happy with the different children’s books I’ve illustrated. It was fun to make them, it is very gratifying to work for children.

What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Julian Allen and I am a freelance character designer, entrepreneur, storyboard artist, sketch artist and all around art hooker…lol.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I can’t say I’ve had any crazy jobs. I remember after high school I worked at a seafood supplier. Does that count? In any event, that was like working in a refrigerator.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
Two years ago I had the opportunity to work for Disney Imagineering on an upcoming theme attraction for Disneyland Tokyo. The first job turned into two additional projections from Imagineering and then a fourth. That one I had to turn down. I was working like crazy for them, plus working full time at an animation studio. I made crazy money that year.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I’m originally from Detroit, Michigan and I’ve always been surrounded by art. My dad was Continue reading

What is your name and your current occupation? 
My name is Brian Hartley and at the moment I’m a Senior Games Artist for Fish in a Bottle, a creative agency based in Leamington Spa. My job covers a wide range of areas from UI design through to character animation.
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation? 
I’ve been lucky enough to have been involved in games development since leaving college, so there’s not really anything crazy to report.
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of? 
I really enjoyed working on the point and click adventure we designed at Fish in a Bottle to support the recent Channel 4 animated series, The Full English. It was the first Flash project I’d work on, so there was a pretty steep learning curve, but I think everyone involved was happy with how it turned out. Other than that, I still have a soft spot for MicroMachines on the Sega MegaDrive. Even thought it’s 20 years since the game came out, I still get people telling me how much they loved it.

Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business? 

I’m from Stratford-on-Avon in Warwickshire, and my first job in games development was for Codemasters. I’d never really used a computer for anything creative, but Continue reading
