S1 E16: Stitching Stories: The Art of Jonathan Hallett
Manage episode 483684797 series 3637733
From Captain Planet to Hereditary, High School Musical to Spider-Punk Stitch, storyboard artist and cartoonist Jonathan Hallett has seen—and drawn—it all. In this episode, James sits down with the creative powerhouse behind StitchToons.com, FastStoryboards.com, and Cartoonist.MyPortfolio.com to talk about breaking into animation, drawing over 900 Stitch mashups, and what it’s like to work with names like Ari Aster, Kevin Costner, and Disney.
We dive into Jonathan’s start in the industry thanks to a fateful neighbor, the evolution of StitchToons from a Comic Con flop to a full-blown phenomenon, and how he balances family life with exhibiting at 40+ conventions a year.
Also discussed: GI Joe, manga, the challenge of comic book collecting, and how Jonathan accidentally launched a children’s book empire one Lilo missionary sketch at a time.
