Animation

BizarreBeasts is a ten-episode animated series in production, premiering on DCP+ at the platform's launch this fall as part of its opening slate. It is made as a two-person studio: every drawing by Dylan, all audio by Kate Yarter. The work is connected and the mediums are just different: the software that rigs and animates these figures is a medium here too, alongside the ink and the canvas.

Illustration

Ink drawings made in one continuous line. These figures came first, and the characters in the animation grew out of them.
