Hey everyone, had a quick turnaround for this new episode because I wanted to get it out for NYCC season!
Make sure to catch Niko at the Titmouse panel on Friday, and maybe you'll bump into me on Thursday or Saturday!
Niko Guardia's an accomplished artist that has worked in animation at Titmouse for 15 years, and through this we discuss his duties as an art director, his path to getting to work in animation, the various projects he's worked on, and media that inspires us.
