After A Career In Animation, I Returned To My Childhood Roots Creating Comics.

ADVERTISEMENT

I recall hangng in my Dad’s home office when he gave me a stick of blank paper and said “Here, draw something on these.” The five year old me sat quietly say for hours.

As I became a teenage I created comics and showed them to my friends (who knew all the character and were big fans).

After college I worked on several animated features and TV series (Simpsons, Garfield, Bobby’s World).

And after a second career running my own studio and teaching, I returned to creating a comic. I began with creating complex characters and gave them a purpose (find a home), and let them run amok.

I sought to make a story for all ages, adults and mature kids (one unsavory character occasionally lightly swears. What can you do?).

No dry run. No rough draft. No storyboard.

Just a real-time developing story.

What happens next? Who knows?

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
