Alex, Bill, and Robert
Here�s a picture Melissa shot at last week�s re-pitch of the Teapot! storyboard. It shows some of the key talent creator Greg Eagles has assembled for his crew so far: Bill Flores, Greg, Dahveed Kolodny-Nagy, Robert Alvarez, and Alex Almaguer. I’m sure Greg and Dahveed will post more about these guys, but I wanted to introduce you briefly to these artists, highlighting their past work for Frederator.
Alex Almaguer. Alex is busy polishing up the �Teapot!� storyboard. His relationship with Frederator goes back a bit � as a storyboard revisionist he was one of the key artists on My Life as a Teenage Robot. (He�s also newly married to the former Holly Kim, a color stylist over on Frederator�s Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!)
Bill Flores also put (and, once in a while, continues to put) his time in at Teenage Robot. Many of the fantastic background designs you see on the show are his work. Like Alex, Bill�s currently over at Cartoon Network working on Billy and Mandy.
Last, but not least, is director Robert Alvarez. Robert�s list of credits in the business is as long as your leg. He�s been cartooning since the 1970s, and has worked on series such as Dexter�s Laboratory, The PowerPuff Girls, Teenage Robot, and Billy and Mandy. He�s earned three Emmys for his work on Clone Wars and Samurai Jack. Robert also created two shorts for Oh Yeah!s earlier incarnation, What a Cartoon!, at Hanna-Barbera.
Welcome aboard, guys. At the very least, if the quality of a short can be measured by the sum of its talent, Teapot! is off to a great start.

Great crew. And I’m very aware of the Alvarez name. Say, how can I weasel my way into Frederator? I feel like I’m missing out on all the fun!
