Todd will be giving a workshop on this topic in my heartfelt creatives community on Sunday, September 29th, at 2 pm EST!

Todd Shaffer has spent his life pursuing the arts and has enjoyed over 30 years in the animation industry as a writer, director, and animator.

He directed the 2D animation on Disney's Disenchanted and was an animation supervisor on Space Jam 2, Green Eggs & Ham, The Bob's Burgers Movie, Central Park, and the upcoming Porky Pig, Daffy Duck movie, The Day the Earth Blew Up.

Todd wrote and directed 5 animated films, 2 completed, 3 incomplete due to a variety of outside problems, which is not uncommon with independent animation. Two of those are musicals. He's also directed over 100 commercials.

He's also an illustrator and oil painter. He's illustrated 2 children's books and painted the portrait of a Maryland State Senator.

He's currently developing a live-action western that he wrote and will direct, and is in production on a documentary called Surviving Child Loss. He's also building a course on creativity at Creativity Underground. He believes that how we understand creativity will make us or break us, and this is something he's seen in his own life, the life of his kids, and in the lives of others across the disciplines, including professionals.

He and his wife raised 4 children, all of them following in their father's footsteps of filmmaking, animation, art, and writing. His daughter is currently releasing her first children's book.
