Artist #13: Pendleton Finn Ward

A newcomer to the land of animation, Pendleton Ward always succeeds in bringing a smile to my face with his zany ideas and colorful worlds. None more so than Adventure Time, which has lured me back into cartoons with colorful, expansive lands to wander, and dark, deep dungeons abound. It's like my childhood wrapped in a colorful, package of pure amazing.


The art is simple, colors are solid, with shading only present in situations of extreme light or dark. It's a style that reminds me of my drawings in grade school, but done with such eloquence you can't help but smile. Pendleton expresses his knowledge of his audience through this show, hitting exactly where and how it should.
