I Moved to Los Angeles to Work in Animation
I Moved to Los Angeles to Work in Animation | Natalie Nourigat
3 posts | 6 read
When artist Natalie Nourigat left her life in Portland to move to Los Angeles and pursue a job in animation, she realized that despite her research, nothing truly prepared her for the wild world that awaited in the studios of Southern California. This autobiographical how-to graphic novel explores the highest highs and lowest lows of pursuing a dream in animation. Brushed with a dose of humor and illustrated advice about salaries, studio culture, and everything in between, I Moved to Los Angeles to Work in Animation is the unique insider experience you won’t find anywhere else.

Pickpick

A low pick for this library book, a graphic bio focusing specifically on the author's experience of breaking into animation work in LA.
This could have been too niche, but, while there is zero chance of this being my new life direction (🤣), the specificity about a career, city & lifestyle utterly different to my own was of interest.
Text heavy, with lots of career tips, but mercifully short enough that I only skipped a few pages at the end! 🤫

Mehso-so

A graphic novel really for people who want to work in animation. Or move to la? Not really so much interesting otherwise.

wanderinglynn Sounds more like an op-ed piece in a newspaper or maybe a magazine article rather than a GN. 4y
Nitpickyabouttrains @wanderinglynn yeah it was a lot of advice? And like, what to do? A little story about how the author made her own choices. But then it was more factual about working in the field. 4y

I told myself I would stop trying to read so many stuff at one time. But here I am starting a new graphic novel. Making the #currentlyreading count 3.
