He served as our Intern for four years while attending Burien’s Big Picture High School, and now Bryan Shickmeister (aka Bryan Charles) is all growed up and going to Evergreen College in Olympia, where he is studying animation.
Oh, and he’s also released this brand new cartoon, called “3 Frog Bros – Hot Frog Love – Full Episode!”:

Shickmeister told us that he wrote the cartoon with help from various improvisational actors, got professional voice actor Mike Pollock to help, and that he has four confirmed episodes, including a 6-year anniversary special featuring cameos from old voice actors.
“It’s animated with all new technology, quadrupling the speed,” Shickmeister said. “I’ll be doing new releases at the end of each month after the premiere.”
Shickmeister adds that he hand-painted all the scenery and set design, and if you watch closely you can see that he also cleverly intercut “live” video clips with animation.
Way to go Frogboy!

The Historical Society, on your recommendation Scott, met Brian a few years back and did an exhibit of his really neat work. I can see his progression in this video and think he has a bright future ahead!
