Michael Derry

I am a writer, art director, illustrator, animator, and graphic designer experienced in every aspect of the creative process from concept to completion. My work includes commercial and editorial illustration, concept art, storyboards, character design, animation, comic art, and graphic design. I have created animated series', characters, illustrations, and graphics for commercial agencies, books, magazines, comic strips, games, TV, movies, web series, and interactive. 

My comic strip “Troy” ran for fourteen years in alternative newspapers throughout the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, parts of South America, Australia, on LOGO's news site, 365Gay.com, and has been published in seven different collections. In 2011, I did an animated short based on the strip that screened in numerous film festivals throughout the world.

I have had the privilege of working with national brands such as Disney, Microsoft, BMW, DC Comics, Marvel, EA Games, and Six Flags.
