cphto.jpg

Hi, I’m Chris Siemasko. 
I draw pictures and tell jokes.  

For almost 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.
Sometimes, I tell Dad jokes.

I'm currently storyboarding on a feature with Netflix.
