I’m excited to announce the premiere of my first animated short film, My Dog: The Paradox. It’s based on the best-selling comic about my dog, Rambo. I’ll also be screening a collection of other hilarious (and horrible) animations I’ve worked on and talking about them onstage.
The evening will include a special guest appearance by Allie Brosh, the New York Times bestselling author and creator of Hyperbole and a Half. We’ll be interviewing each other live.
Both Allie and I will be doing an autograph session afterwards. Doodles and signatures are free, and we'll sign anything you bring to the event.
Each attendee will also receive a gift bag that includes a collectible pin and other surprise merch.
I hope to see you there. <3
