Attaboy is an internationally renowned artist, creator and toy designer whose work is seen in galleries, museums, toy boutiques, magazines, calendars, and art books. After years of creating, recreating, and inventing award-winning and best selling toys for Hasbro and Milton Bradley, he left to create his own art and licensing studio. Attaboy's designer toys, most notably his Axtrx character, have garnered him a rabid fan base of all ages. Fans appreciate his offbeat sense of humor and odd storylines and connect to his sympathetic characters and multi-nubbed creations.

His artwork has been licensed to Dark Horse, Kid Robot, Disney, Last Gasp, Tower Records, Kiss, Sony, and many others. His animation Too Many Robots aired on cable's Disney Channel in 2007, and is downloadable on ITunes and viewable on YouTube.

Attaboy is also the co-founder of the critically acclaimed arts magazine Hi-Fructose (www.hifructose.com) which was nominated for the Utne Reader's award for best new publication. The magazine's circulation continues to grow worldwide and its print run routinely sells out, making each edition naturally quite collectible.

Attaboy lives in Albany, California with his lady love artist Annie Owens and a pug dog named Donut.

I started as theatre designer, and I found my way into animation. Now I’m an Animation director, Story Artist and designer. I was lucky to work as a director at Aardman animations where I directed episodes of the Emmy award winning Shaun the Sheep, and boarded on the feature Pirates: Band of Misfits. I’m now at Pixar . I write, direct, and draw, but above all, I love to draw. I love to push my drawing as far as I can, and I love to make people laugh.
