Over the Garden Wall was one of those projects that comes very rarely in one's career. I'm so happy that I was able to help bring something into the world that would resonate year-after-year with so many people.

it's amazing to see that almost all of the work that I've done in the past 5 years has been either cancelled, had production halted or been pulled off of streaming services. All the more reason artists should be producing their own independent work.

Looking back, it's hard to believe that I was able to smuggle backgrounds like these into a fairly low-budget cartoon--it's what happens when executives leave artists alone to be creative.

A hard truth for aspiring animation filmmakers: a lot of the scenes you'll have to animate are kinda unexciting but necessary to help tell the story - these scenes will feel like mostly hard work, but the audience needs them. Word of advice: do these scenes first.
