Bryan Turner

Hey Guys, Bryan here! Growing up in the Washington DC area smack-dab in the 80s, had me glued to the 19 inch TV on Saturday

mornings, as well as before and after school, anticipating our favorite Animated shows, like; Looney Tunes, Transformers, Gl Joe,

Gummy Bears, or even the Bernstein Bears! It didn't matter. Those, and many more programs captivated our generation's imagination!

And that's exactly when I knew I wanted to see my drawings come to life.

I started drawing at the age of 4, and have never looked back since. Throughout Grade School, without more than ONE actual art class.

I still knew that I wanted to make Saturday morning cartoons! That drive carried me to study Animation at The University of the Arts in

Philadelphia. Even though I was behind the ball, compared to most of the other Art students and their previous training, I wouldn't

let that turn me away. As I was trying to figure out exactly how I could break into the Animation Industry. While learning the Art of

Caricatures, I would start forging a path that was uncharted for me. I soon started tabling at comic book conventions, trying to figure out

how to grow as an Artist.

This exposure landed me opportunities in the Comic Book Industry. I was blessed to work with studios such as LEGO, IDW, and

Boom! Studios, on properties, such as; Batman, Spider-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Samurai Jack! Even still, I knew I wanted

to get back into Animation. As I grew in the Comic Industry, I began getting noticed by Animation recruiters, while doing shows on the

West Coast. This would eventually pay off, as I landed my first job in the Industry as a Storyboard Revisionist, then eventual Artist, on

Ultimate Spider-Man! Since then, I've been blessed to work with studios like, Disney DreamWorks, and Warner Bros, to name a few.

As I continue in my career, I look forward to taking on NEW challenges like, Design, Visual Development, Directing, Art Direction,

and even New Series or Feature Creation. At the end of the day, I thank God for all of my fantastic opportunities to play with and create

fun and exciting characters and stories that my kids (and hopefully yours too) can be proud of, while they sit in front of our, now,

70 inch TVs, anticipating THEIR favorite Animated shows and films.
