My #ArtVsArtist for 2025: The usual mix of old & new. It’s been a long slog of over 2 years without work, so hoping things will pick up in the animation biz in 2026. If your project is staffing up next year, drop me a line in January! #ArtVsArtist2025 #CharacterDesign #ChrisBattle #LookingForWork
Love seeing Chris’s desk covered in drawings from our Mighty B days. His work was always full of energy, humor, and personality. It was always great to stop by his desk and see all his great drawings. Real drawings that exist in the real world. What a privilege. #ChrisBattle #Animation #RealArt
#ArtVsArtist2024 ...New stuff, old stuff, still #LookingForWorkStuff! Available for full-time, in-house Animation Character Design work in 2025 -- Also available for freelance visual development for new/updated properties! #ArtVsArtist #CharacterDesign #ChrisBattle
Made a return appearance on ShoutOut LA, where I talk about the inherent risks that are part of any creative career, early professional challenges, and of course, In-N-Out Burger:#ShoutOutLA #ChrisBattle

That’s me on the right showing my art to legendary @MADmagazine artist Sergio Aragonés at @hidehocomics in 1983. He told me to keep drawing & never stop 👍 What’s your best story about meeting one of your art heroes? #SergioAragones #MADmagazine #GrooTheWanderer #ChrisBattle
33 yrs later, ran into Sergio at @Wondercon & showed him the old photo (from my IG) He suggested we take an updated one, and who was I to say no? #SergioAragones #MADmagazine #GrooTheWanderer #ChrisBattle
