Brian Sheesley

Brian Sheesley is an independent director, producer and visual artist who has worked in television, film and book illustration. He has five Emmy Awards, two Primetime and three Daytime. Over his 26 years in animation, Sheesley has focused on comedy series including Futurama, King of the Hill, The Critic, Camp Lazlo, Fanboy and Chum Chum, Regular Show and Uncle Grandpa.

Sheesley is a product of Central California’s farmland, which means he knows how to milk a cow. He quickly grazed south and graduated with a B.F.A. in Character Animation from California Institute of the Arts.

He began his career working as an animator and character designer on the series Family Dog for CBS. He currently has wrapped a new series, Camp WWE, for the WWE Network, and continues to illustrate for a book series entitled Fizzopolis.

Most of Sheesley’s time away from work is spent laughing with his wife and two daughters.
