Welcome to the Ink and Paint Girls podcast where we celebrate women working in animation and explore representation behind the scenes and on the screen.
Storyboard Artist and all-around lovely person, Lila Martinez has come a long way in distance and perseverance to make her childhood dreams of animation a reality. Leaving Mexico City to study in Vancouver, Canada, and then bouncing between Mexico City and Los Angeles to build her career, we have plenty to talk about on today’s episode! We discuss her experience working in both the Mexican and American industries across Feature and TV Animation, her personal storyboarding process and creative strategies, as well as how she navigates the visa process.

Give a warm welcome to Jessie Slipchinsky! Currently a technical director at Disney TV Animation, on the show Eleanor of Avalor, she shares her journey to get there- from growing up in Conneticut to going to school in Florida to freelancing in LA. We talk about stable jobs, strategizing how to use that stable job to get into the one you want, and being up-front and honest about what you want, knowing that you have to do a good job where you at first.

Long is the supervising director on Netflix’s new series Paradise PD, being produced over at Bento Box animation, and at the time of this recording is the only female Supervising Director working on an adult prime-time show- and might just be the first in nearly 20 years! With meager beginnings as a production assistant on American Dad!, she became a storyboard revisionist and worked her way up continuing onto other shows like Brickleberry, The Awesomes, and Legends of Chamberlain Heights. She shares in depth what Supervising Directing entails, how she navigated and strategized to get to this creative leadership role, and how she asserts herself in a work environment without bulldozing others. It can be done!

Welcome to the Ink and Paint Girls podcast where we celebrate women working in animation and explore representation behind the scenes and on the screen.
In an era where women mostly worked in the Ink and Paint Department, a young woman named Bianca Majolie was hired to (as one news outlet reported) invade "the strictly masculine stronghold" of the story department at Disney Animation. She was the first recorded woman to work as a storyboard and concept artist for the company. Her most remembered accomplishment was creating the Silly Symphony cartoon, Elmer Elephant, as well as was a source of inspiration for animators like Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston who sited her philosophies on pathos for how the studio's storytelling style eventually evolved. A lesson that the gag-driven storytellers in the room weren't ready for at the time!
Hosted by Rebecca Nelson and Cassie Soliday.

Welcome to the Ink and Paint Girls podcast where we celebrate women working in animation and explore representation behind the scenes and on the screen.
Katya Bowser is a Storyboard Artist and Children’s Book Illustrator. Currently working as a storyboard revisionist at Nickelodeon on the pre-school show, “Shimmer and Shine,” she cut her teeth storyboarding for DisneyToons Studio, Epipheo Studios, many projects by independent filmmakers and then there’s the kids book she created, “Dex T-Rex”, which was published through Stan Lee’s Kids Universe. Though this is all impressive, I have to admit that my favorite of her work would have to be her journal and mommy comics, where she documents her life with her little girl and husband. We discuss how she was able to turn freelance boards into a full-time inhouse gig, how she balances motherhood and work life, as well as how she stays motivated to create in her free time.
