Reposted from @ray8fisher I had the joy of speaking with Norma Sepulveda ( @votenorma4mayor ) at Harlingen Fan Convention this past November! Two things were clear to me after our conversation (as well as some research): 1) Her passion for positive change in Harlingen is palpable and real. 2) The people of Harlingen would be lucky to have her serve them as mayor. 🙏🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/CaRJN_Oug_q/?utm_medium=tumblr

Chrystin Garland

I knew I wanted to have a career in animation when: I always knew that I loved drawing, but I didn’t necessarily make the connection that animation was something one could pursue as a career. I don’t think I ever really considered who was behind the cartoons I was so eager to watch after school or the amount of effort that went into making these series possible. Animation was simply a wonderful, magical thing that I enjoyed. My parents, ever invested in my education, signed me up for a series of college courses one summer that happened to include an introduction to traditional animation. That class completely changed my life.

First job in animation: Character designer on Niko and the Sword of Light.

What I love about my current project: I’ve always been a huge fan of stage plays and musicals that put their own unique spin on the source material. I am incredibly grateful that our talented crew, led by the incomparable Lynne Southerland, has an opportunity to do the same with another beloved classic. Seeing all the amazing things our creative team brings to the table week after week is truly a highlight! It feels like everyone is doing their best to make something wonderful, and that’s exciting. Biggest challenge: Waiting for the series to premiere!

Favorite animated movie or TV show growing up: I was absolutely obsessed with Sailor Moon as a child and still am a huge fan to this day. I remember having to wake up super early in the morning to catch it on TV, since this was pre-Toonami. Probably the earliest and most consistently I’ve woken up by choice. Animation role model: I consider Everett Downing Jr. to have been my unofficial mentor throughout the course of my career. I really admire his storytelling and sense of collaboration among creatives that he brings to all his projects. Best advice: Everyone’s path breaking into and navigating the animation industry is going to be different. If working in this field is truly your dream, continue to push forward and hone your skills whenever you can. It can also be beneficial to stay open to opportunities that don’t align perfectly with your established goal. You never know where those experiences may lead you. Future plans: To be a showrunner on an original series that I developed. That would be a dream come true!
