James Braithwaite
Agent: Rosemary StimolaJames Braithwaite is an Oscar-nominated illustrator, animator and writer based in Toronto, which is a very nice place in Canada and yes he knows your friend from there. They say hi.
Recognition for James's animation work includes an Emmy, a Best Animation Short award from the American Film Institute, and presentation at the Guggenheim. Festivals played? You bet. Sundance and hundreds of others.
His delightfully strange animation and art direction can be seen in an eclectic range of recent projects - from hit animations for PBS, to a Smithsonian commission about the insanity of Thanksgiving, to a series of crazy little music videos for the John Lennon/Yoko Ono family.
His editorial illustration has appeared in the New York Times, McSweeney's, The Believer, VICE, Financial Times and the Globe and Mail, among others. Commercial clients include Google, Ford, Microsoft and ESPN.
He has owned many cats. His favourite was called Montelle.
