PGBC Cubes with storyboard artist Phil Jacobson!

Phil jacobson - @storyboredartist - is one of our talented storyboard artists. Learn about him and his workspace below!

1. What makes a comfortable workspace for you?

I love my dual monitor setup. It lets me watch Netflix while I work, which is great because now I can be super distracted all the time. I also have a space heater that is always on because I’m constantly cold.  

2. What tools/software do you use the most?

I almost exclusively use Storyboard Pro. Sometimes Photoshop. In a few cases my team director and I will rough [sketch] out some panels on paper too, like our ancestors apparently used to do in the dark times.

3. What’s your favorite thing in your cube?

I have a pretty awesome dead plant over in the corner. He’s been dead for about a year and a half now. I should probably throw it away, but the shape the plant makes in the cube really adds to the ambiance. Also, I have a giant inflatable deer head. Absolutely a pro essential.

4. What do you like most about your job?

There’s a free cereal bar up in the kitchen that’s pretty rad. Jokes aside, I work with a lot of great people. (Except Matt. Matt if you’re reading this, go away. This is MY page. GO.)

5. How did you start in animation?

A series of accidents turned into a career, honestly. I went to college for comics, did some work on a few series, and then randomly applied to Nick. About a month later I was really excited to get a phone call. It was a loan shark asking me to pay back my student loans. Then I got hired at Nick.

6. What advice would you give to someone who wants to be a storyboard artist?

The number one rule is to always have fun with whatever you’re doing. I think anxiety can really show through in drawings - you can tell when someone is overthinking or nervous. Draw what you love. Draw it often. Make dumb jokes. They are the spice of life. And the spice must flow...

7. Are you more like Pig, Goat, Banana or Cricket?

I want to say Cricket. I pretend like I’m Pig, but behind the scenes I’m pretty neurotic and anxious. I’m also a pretty big planner, and I like having everything organized. He even gets my hat and hair during one episode (Underpants-palooza), but that’s another story...
