Welcome to the Ink and Paint Girls podcast- a look at animation through the women who make it!
Hosted by Cassie Soliday
Today’s guest is writer and creator, Emily Brundige!
Emily is a writer and creator, having created the hit Shut Up! Cartoons series “Pubertina” for YouTube, as well as most recently developed “Harvey Girls Forever!” for Dreamworks TV and Netflix. But her accolades don’t stop there, she’s also voiced the character of Sara in the Cartoon Network mini-series “Over the Garden Wall.” A prolific writer working in development and staffed on series, she even made time to create and produce the animated short film, “Goldie.” An hour isn’t enough time to pick Emily’s brain, but we can try.
Watch her short film "GOLDIE" here!

Storyboard Artist, Yvonne Hsuan Ho and Prop Designer, Nooree Kim, are passionate animation professionals from Taiwan and Canada, who have moved to the U.S. to plant their roots, but have found that being residental aliens certainly has its restrictions.

Today's guest is background painter and visual development artist, Audrey Gonzalez.
“Be prepared. Be genuine.”
These words are my favorite take away from speaking with Audrey, and I can’t wait for you to take a listen! We discuss being in the right place and right time and how it really doesn’t matter if you’re not prepared for that opportunity. She shares the research process that goes into working on an animated series inspired by latin cultures, how she came up with personal rates for freelance opportunities, and how she’s used social media to connect to a community when she wasn't near one. Audrey started the portfolio day hashtag on Twitter and Instagram where she promotes artists who are ready for opportunity and looking for work! She’s genuine and lovely and I can’t wait for you to meet her.
A wonderful interview to get you pumped for 2020.

Today's guest is Kate Moran, freelance writer and production secretary. She worked her way from barista to temp positions to finally production secretary on beloved Disney shows like Gravity Falls and Mickey’s Roadster Racers where she’s often found in the writers room! Among many topics, we discuss how she doesn’t wait for an invitation or permission to create, why it’s so important to be a midnight donatello (also the name of her podcast about creativity!), and how kindness is a strength.

As a working parent, she’s open about the successes, struggles, and what she likes to call, “happy compromises.” We discuss how she makes creativity a bonding experience with her daughter, how she is plotting a career change into writing for TV and children’s books, and how to ask for what you need from your production to live your best family life at home.

Today's guest is Laura Hohman, CG texture artist and supervisor. Originally shooting for the stars and dreaming of being an astronaut at NASA, Laura pivoted to working in 3D still fueled by her affinity for physics. She got her first job on Nickelodeon’s 2012 “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and she has been texturing ever since. We discuss the ebb and flow of CG and 2D in the TV Animation Industry, how she supervises a team, how to use bad advice to motivate you, and much more.

Today's guest is Mary Bellamy, author, illustrator, and animator! With over 14 graphic novels and 1,000 comic pages under her belt, Mary is the epitome of a self-made independent publisher with her titles such as Faux Facts and Ah, Heck! This drive to produce a huge body of work has brought Marvel and My Little Pony knocking on her metaphorical door. We discuss how she boiled her creative process down to a science, how she was tired of the typical girl tropes in stories so she created her own graphic novels to show what she wishes she could have read when she was growing up, and how she speaks into her own pain by creating honest and authentic work in hopes of connecting with others so they know to keep hope alive.

This week is all about the animators of the inspiring documentary about rapper/producer/Ph.D. candidate Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo, also known as Sammus, which is currently crowdfunding on Indiegogo! With 12 minutes of hand-drawn animation, I just had to have these animators on the show.
Today's guest is Christa Carr, 2D animator and character designer!
Christa shares how she went from Buffalo, NY, to Los Angeles and the stops in between, how she thoughtfully chose what film festivals to submit her thesis film, with the audience in mind, and why it’s important that she be the role model she wished she had growing up and watching animation.
