Star vs the Forces of Evil, “My New Wand!”

This Monday is the season finale of Star vs the Forces of Evil Season 2! It’s a one-hour special with two episodes, Face the Music and Starcrushed. I boarded the scenes of Queen Moon’s secret journey in Face the Music, which was the most fun I might have ever had doing a straight-up fantasy sequence. Moon rules! Hope you all enjoy the finale!

Hi there! I just learned I got a bunch of asks that Tumblr didn’t notify me about, so I’m sorry if this question is really out of date. If you’d like to write for animation, it’s good to understand visual writing - scripting for comics or animation requires a lot of visual gags and scenarios. But you don’t have to draw anything to be a writer for a show; you just need to remember at all times that it will end up in a drawn state, and keep that in mind as you write your premises and scripts. Learning story structure is much more important. Understanding character development, being able to track a story arc through a short amount of time (will this story fit in 11 minutes?), etc is also necessary. Many non-artists get their start in production, either working as interns or as PA’s. Study the shows you love, write some spec scripts and start sending your work out!

WOOO! This weekend! 11:30 and 11:45 - TWO new episodes of Sanjay and Craig! ENTER the fantasy realm of FLABYRINTH, a mystical place with absolutely no infringement upon a beloved puppet-laden 80s movie. WATCH WITH PLEASURE!!!

Hey everyone! THIS SUNDAY at 7:30, the very first episode I wrote and boarded with my rock star partner Gina Gress (who drew the fabulous promo art above) premiers on Nickelodeon! Check out Belle Pepper! And if you haven’t been watching SANJAY AND CRAIG, this is a perfect time to start. I can’t say how proud I am of this show and its crew. It’s become one of the funniest, weirdest, most heartfelt shows on TV and I’m so excited to be a part of it. Hope you enjoy it!

Happy Poultry Day! Thought I’d dig this homage to my favorite hen, Francine, out of the archives and share it on this chicken-y holiday.

TONIGHT! Another spooooky episode from Minty Lewis and me. If you were getting sick of Muscle Man, well... you're in luck! Happy Halloween!
