Michigan’s own Sarah Johnson is today’s guest on The Animated Journey Podcast! Sarah shares her experiences growing up in a small town, her love for all things animation (especially Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and how she survived her post-college years freelancing and working hard at pursuing her dream in order to become a storyboard artist, and then the Storyboard Supervisor, for The Fairly OddParents and now one of Nickelodeon’s newest shows, Bunsen Is A Beast. Tune in and hear how to survive and thrive in the animation industry as the Nickelodeon Summer miniseries continues!
And…Mabel’s crushes from Gravity Falls were named Xyler and Craz. And that bizarro version of Dipper was Dippy Fresh. Thanks internet!
