Fran&David Brylewski
Fran and David met at Newport Film School where they were both studying animation. After graduation, they moved to London and Fran began working for Steven Spielberg’s Amblimation as an inbetweener/assistant animator on feature films including ‘An American Tail’, ‘We’re Back!' and ‘Balto,’ whilst David worked as an editor at Ealing Animation on numerous BBC projects ranging from Wimbledon to children’s television.
In 1997 they formed their own company working as children’s illustrators for such clients as Disney, Warner Bros. and Nickelodeon. Using both traditional and digital illustration formats, they now live and work in sunny Dorset with their two children and ghost dog, Bowser.
In her free time Fran enjoys writing and illustrating her own childrens books which, one day, she hopes to see published. David loves any sport and being part of his local running club.
In the evening they like to sit on their balcony and gaze up at the stars.
