About the Creators
Sequoia Blankenship is a writer who loves stories, film, comics, and cajeta. He has been drawing and telling tales (not just to get out of trouble) for as long as he can remember, and has had the good fortune to work and animate at Pixar Animation Studios for 23 years (way longer than anyone expected). His animation has appeared in such films as Ratatouille, Incredibles 2, and Coco, to name a few. Sequoia lives with his family in Petaluma, California, the self-proclaimed "Butter and Eggs Capital of the World," which means they have to watch their cholesterol.
Rob Thompson is an animator currently living in California. He has worked on several Pixar films, including Ratatouille, Toy Story 3, and Inside Out 2. Thompson grew up in San Diego, where he spent many hours hiding from the sun in local comic book shops. He lives with his girlfriend and their two chupacabras.
