El Perro y El Gato were the first characters I designed that won a contest at HBO Family. They were developing animated shorts about a high-strung, little dog and a fat, laid-back cat. This duo teach basic Spanish to English-speaking children, and vice-versa. I thoroughly enjoyed working on these episode designs, and I got to design the look of their entire world, as well. I oversaw the lip-flap, background design, and style of animation. Along with dvds of the episodes, they also made a series of children’s books.
