Iyanu

I've been making cartoons since 1996 as a director, supervising director, board artist, designer, and more. Everything from receiving a script through finishing an animatic, and occasionally going all the way through post. I specialize in complex action sequences but have handled just about everything else in 2D, CG, and Flash. Always looking for new ways to stretch my muscles!
Work History
  • Animation Director

    Self Employed

    December 1996 - Present

    Hello there, cartoon comrade! I’ve been in the TV biz since 1996, jumping from one cool gig to
    another, often directing and/or boarding for entire seasons. I’ve had healthy doses of action/adventure and comedy with several full-CG productions and few Flash shows in the roster. I’m
    proficient in Photoshop and Storyboard Pro, available for either in-house or freelance positions.

    As both a director and a supervising director, I have handled all aspects of production on
    hundreds of episodes including artist training, managing freelancers, character/prop/BG design,
    creating and editing animatics, working with timers & checkers, and more. I gained experience
    working remotely many years before Covid arrived, directing a Canadian team from L.A. on
    extremely complex Marvel projects, so long-distance communication is nothing new to me.

    I specialize in complex, multi-layered productions and have yet to meet a deadline I cannot beat
    into the ground. Give me a script, I’ll give you a show.
