I&PF-165, Bobby Pontillas, Art Director in Development & Ally

Welcome to the Ink and Paint Folk podcast- a look at animation through the women and non-binary folk who make it!

Except for today. Enjoy our ally edition.

 

Hosted by Kira Rodrigues and Cassie Soliday.

 

Today we announce the winner of a new award we completely made up for fun: the Token Man with Talent award!

We spent a grueling amount of hours shortlisting who should win this prestigious award. And as you know, there are not enough men in the industry, so we really need to do our due diligence to highlight them. But now, we are ready to announce the winner of 2022’s Token Man with Talent. 

 

He’s an animator! A visual development artist! An art director working in development! And best of all, he’s an ally! It’s… drumroll, please… Bobby Pontillas! Yayyyy!!!!!

 

All jokes aside, we’re so happy Bobby’s here today because he’s gonna let us inside his head and give us great tips and insights on how to get into the industry, what to put in your portfolios, and all that good stuff! The goal of this episode is to take the breadth of his experience and give it to you.
