What is your name and your current occupation?
I work as a visual development artist (sometimes only as a color stylist) and character designer for projects in games, animation and commercials.
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I did an internship as a personal assistant for a fashion designer named Bahar Korcan. Since I moved to the States for college and stayed, I wasn’t able to pursue anything outside the limits of my degree.
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
It’s really more about the people I work with for me, but if I were to look back as individual projects I’d probably say the 30ft digital display on top of Target HQ in Minneapolis, the interactive Rome music video by Chris Milk, and anything I was a part of at Elastic.
Where are you from and how did you get into the animation business?
I’m originally from Turkey. I came to the States to study at Otis College Of Art And Design. I tried to venture out as much as possible and upon graduating I was Continue reading

What would you say has been your primary job in animation?
Background painter and color stylist. I’m currently remote freelancing for Warner Bros. on Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. and Looney Tunes Show. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and used to work at Wild Brain before they relocated to LA.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I was a bill collector for the credit card division of a big, unpopular bank in the early 90s. It was all done on an automatic dialer, the account would pop up on your screen and you’d have to quickly process what their situation was and try to get them to pay their bills. Sometimes it was depressing, sometimes it was fascinating and entertaining. People will tell you anything when they owe money. Mostly I just left a lot of messages and sketched in my book.

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated is at the top of my list right now. It’s the coolest show I’ve gotten to work on, I’m a genuine fan.

How did you become interested in animation?
I’ve always been a fan of cartoons, of course, I wanted to do comic books, but never Continue reading

I’m Jennifer Patton – currently painting backgrounds on Scooby Doo Mystery, Incorporated.

 

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I was a telephone tech support person for a mom n’ pop internet service provider (back when there was such a thing).  I was a repo-girl for a Kirby Vacuum Cleaner Sales and Distributorship – I wore wigs to work because my hair was dyed pink and they let me drive the company van to repossess vacuums even though my license was suspended.  I owned and operated a retail skate clothing store in Fresno.  Cashier at a Foster’s Freeze.  Crew member on a sailboat in Mexico.  Counter service/cashier at La Brea Bakery.  Intern at Epitaph records.  Telemarketer for The Shriner Circus in La Porte, Indiana.  10-key operator/inventory taker in New York State…

 

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
I loved working on Lil’ Pimp -  the first (?) animated feature done completely in Flash – written and directed by Mark Brooks and Peter Gilstrap. Those guys are funny. The crew was so fun on that one too. We had crazy parties and underwater beer bongs. Icebox.com was an excellent gig with a load of talented people.  The X’s for Nickelodeon – created by the ever-enthusiastic and highly talented Carlos Ramos. That was a good show. Great crew.  The Mighty B! also for Nickelodeon; one of the best shows ever. Awesome writing and boarding. Great art. An all-star crew and every last one of them a pleasure to work with; Seonna Hong, Bill Wray, Bryan Arnett, Alex Kirwan, Carey Yost, Chris Hacker, Cynthia McIntosh, Fran Giglio, Rae McCarson, Shawn Holt, Larry Murphy, and many, many more who I can’t think of right now.  Scooby Doo, Mystery Inc. which I’m on now is a fine television production, with a great Art Director Steve Nicodemus, and another highly talented crew that are loads of fun to have lunch with.  I am also proud to have been a member of the original ‘Sony Color Room’ circa ’96-’97 and all it’s legendary shenaniganery.
