Over the course of a couple years Arthur Jones and I landed creative development deals with Fox Animation, Comedy Central, and Adult Swim. It was a thrilling crash course on pitching, script writing, and animation production. We had an agent at ICM, good times, played a lot of basketball, and got to work with some of my heroes like John Lee from WonderShowzen, and Ben Jones of Paper Rad.
