Adobe Twitch Stream LIVE Saturday from 12 to 3 PM PST.
SO just like last weekend (and every one following) I’ll be live on Adobe’s Twitch channel animating random stupidness tomorrow (Saturday) from 12-3pm PST using Adobe’s Animate software (The artist tool formerly known as Flash).

Travis Overstreet
What is your name and your current occupation?Â
I’m Travis Overstreet and I’m the lead designer and animator at Crawford Media in Atlanta, Georgia.
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?Â
For the most part I waited tables to put myself through school but there were a couple of interesting odd jobs sprinkled in. The most interesting one would have to be the steel fabrication shop I worked in for a summer. I was raised in the south but I never really picked up the culture so I stuck out like a sore thumb. We had to be there every morning at 4:30am and being the smart person I am I went to see the midnight release of Star Wars 3. Needless to say I didn’t get any sleep that night and during my shift the next day I dozed off while using a machine and fractured a piece of metal sending a small fragment into my forearm. Even though I hated the hours I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with.
How did you become interested in animation?Â
Cartoons were the best things on television. Cartoon network didn’t come along until I was in middle school so cartoons were a precious commodity. If I wasn’t watching them I was Continue reading
Leo Antolini
What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Leo Antolini, and I´m currently an illustrator and character designer.
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
I´ve been very lucky that I went straight to working in animation after I graduated (although it took a while) I actually got one of my first illustration gigs while applying for a telemarketer job: the company found out I was an artist and they asked me to do some character design proposals for their new website.
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
I´ve done a lot of projects for Leapfrog, and since I love what they do (educational children´s books and toys), I´ve been proud of pretty much everything I´ve done for them, but I´d single out Sing Along Read-Along (a really fun, cool project) and the “If I Were…†book, which was the first time I got to do an entire book by myself. As far as animation goes, I was super proud of all the work I did (character designs, storyboarding and directing!) on the “Brock O´Lee†shorts for PepperMelon studios: it was a big learning experience to wear all those hats, and the final product turned out awesome, I thought.
How did you become interested in animation?
I´ve been obsessed with cartoons since I can remember. I watched everything (and I mean everything) I could all throughout my childhood, from toy-centric 80´s tv shows and Disney movies to weird, artsy European animation. I loved to draw and create my own characters. When I got to the age where people usually stop caring about cartoons and move on to other interests, I pretty much just kept going. I was really into Continue reading
