"Pre-School Daze"

2008-12-03T16:56:00.000-08:00

Hey all you pre-school kiddies!!!! I thought I'd draw something that sort of represents my pre-school days on the animation playground here at Nickelodeon Animation. It's a lot of fun, and I would say producing and directing Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go and Ni Hao Kai lan are the most rewarding challenges in my career. I've been here at Nickelodeon since 2000 and have been involved with about 250 episodes of pre-school. Thinking and "reverse engineering" your film-making knowledge to adapt to a pre-schooler's way of thinking and vision is an amazing process. The bottom line is that kids love the shows and it changes their lives everyday! As my good friend and mentor said, "We're all fake adults" for we all have little kids inside all of us!" Take care gang and I'll see you all out on the playground. HA! HA! HA! HA! Your Pre-school Pals.....Dora, Kai lan, Diego and your pre-school pal......Jeff

Who's Your Inspiration?

2008-10-23T20:14:00.000-07:00

I always get asked who were and are some people that inspired me the most as an artist. here's a group of guys that really got my creative side of my brain going!! Chuck Jones, Charles Schultz, Jack Davis, M.C. Escher, Tex Avery and Ed "Big Daddy" Roth; to name a few. Ed Roth was my first big inspiration to draw when I was a younger kid of about 7 years old. There's more, but these guys are at the top of the heap. And don't forget to visit me at my Drag Fink and at Frederator!!!
