Mike Kunkel

First and foremost, Mike would say he's a cartoonist. Something he's wanted to do since he was a kid was write and draw cartoon stories. He has followed that dream for nearly 30 years as a Director, Story Artist, Character Designer, Animator, Writer and Illustrator for such studios as Warner Bros, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Sony Entertainment, Universal Pictures, DC Comics, Marvel Comics and Walt Disney Studios. Mike’s published work has been nominated four times for the prestigious Eisner Awards and four Ignatz awards, and he is the creator of the two-time Eisner Award-winning comic book series Herobear and the Kid. His Designs in television have also won the Annie Award for Best Character Design in an Animated Television Production.
