When I decided I was going full-time with this animation thing and Paper Brain about 4 years ago, I drafted an animator’s bucket list in my head… and one of the big points on the list was to make an animation for Sesame Street. I’m proud to say we’ve gotten[…]
Thanks to Houston First and Visit Houston for collaborating with us on the paper Houston animation campaign- it got an ADDY award last night! Naturally, we celebrated the only way we know how… with big bowls of spicy ramen at Tiger Den.
