eet Pete Oswald – an L.A. based artist, Production De- signer, kid lit author and il- lustrator. There is not much Pete can’t do. With a back- ground in fine art and boundless creativity, Pete has helped to uplift many of the most successful animated franchises. As a character designer and con- cept artist, Pete has worked on Mada- gascar: Escape 2 Africa, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 1 & 2; Hotel Transyl- vania; and Oscar ® Nominated ParaNor- man. Pete also has written and illustrated children’s books and in 2017 will be releasing his first original books, Mingo the Flamingo and The Bad Seed. From his most recent project as Production Designer for the block- buster film, The Angry Birds Movie, Pete was able to squeeze in some time to design the Boys & Girls Clubs of Venice gala “brand” and invitations. Pete has been a supporter and friend of the Club for many years, and we are so honored that he shared his tal- ent with us. Check out more of Pete’s work at peteoswald.com.
