CREATING BLUEY: TALES FROM THE ART DIRECTOR (2025)​

 

"Over the next four chapters, I’ll lead you through what it was like to work on Bluey. For the fans, this will be a look behind the curtain you’ve never gotten. And for my fellow and beloved animation workers: I’ll lay bare what the expectations and realities are of working on one of those ‘dream jobs’ in animation we all aspire to. A dream that I thought I was doomed to always have pass me by as a kid studying animation in somewhere as far flung as Brisbane, Australia."
