. . . About Me . . .

Hi, I’m Chris Siemasko.
I draw pictures and tell jokes.
Sometimes, I tell Dad jokes.
For the last 25 years, I've been working in the animation industry, for Pixar, BlueSky, Paramount, Showtime, Cartoon Network, and Sesame Street as well as numerous commercial projects.
I live in the Hudson Valley with my beautiful wife and four brilliant children.
I'm currently storyboarding on a feature with Netflix.
