The Ink and Paint Folk Podcast
TV & Film
Welcome to the Ink and Paint Folk podcast- a look at animation through the women and non-binary folk who make it!
Hosted by Cassie Soliday.
Today’s guest is art director and activist, Andy Garner-Flexner!
Andy (He/They) was the art director at Disney TV Animation on The Owl House and has been a color designer, background painter, and character designer around the animation industry. Having gotten their start in production as an intern, then coordinator, Andy uses skills he developed there even now as an art director. Today, they talk about making the leap from production to color design, the leap into art directing, how the Queer Trans committee began at the Animation Guild and how it's led to a discord channel that nurtures a whole LGBTQIA+ community that spans many creative industries and is 1828 members strong, 245 which are union members.
