Max Alley
Max is a storyboard artist currently working for Nickelodeon in Los Angeles. He loves to explore the whacky and unimaginable in his work, an interest he connects to a healthy dosage of newspaper comics and Hanna-Barbera cartoons.
“I believe my art interests and style were greatly influenced by the stories my parents used to tell my sister and me when we were kids. I attribute my love of creating a story relating to the characters in my art to my parents’ great storytelling abilities!”
