We were approached to conceptualize what the titles for the new FOX comedy starring Joel McHale, “Animal Control.” The show follows animal control workers as their lives are hilariously complicated by other humans and not so much by the animals. From the jump, I knew this needed an energetic, comedic wrapper to set the table for viewers.
I had a lot of fun pitting the animal control officers as equally out of control as the creatures they wrangle. Through pop-art-inspired compositions, I created hilarious and vibrant scenes that juxtapose humans and animals, evoking a whimsical comic book-like feel. Each frame is enhanced with hand-drawn elements and intricate details, ensuring that even the tiniest ideas hold comedic surprises upon closer inspection. While the entirety of the final design wasn’t the final direction, the influence in the final animation is unmistakable, and I really enjoy these frames!
