Andrew G. McKinney

        It’s no surprise that a kid who grew up in the theater became addicted to illustration and animation. I was introduced to the idea of becoming a storyteller at an early age, and my interest in the different forms and mediums has propelled me through my career. Storytelling has always been the core passion in everything I do. There’s nothing more fun than imagining a place you’ve never seen before, populated by characters who you could spend days getting to know. From the edge of a small town to the edge of a galaxy, I get in my character’s heads, figure things out from their perspective, and shape a story I can be proud to share with the rest of the world.
