Derek Drymon

I have a soft spot for the craftspeople who make animation breathe without ever becoming household names, and Derek Drymon strikes me as exactly that kind of figure. Director, writer, storyboard artist, producer, comedian, animator, he wears nearly every hat a cartoon needs, and that range tells me he understands how a show works from the inside out. The fact that he still posts his own art on Instagram suggests the draftsman never left him. I admire people who stay rooted in the drawing while shaping the bigger picture, and I would happily trust his instincts on tone and timing.
