ABOUT

       DeLon is an LA-based Pen Slinger with 8 years of experience in the animation industry. Once a shy kid making ugly mouse flip-book animations in his textbooks, he fell in love with both the boundless creative possibilities the animation medium offered and how it helped him get out of his shell.

​​

       His directing credits include Yo Gabba GabbaLand (Apple TV+) and two animated shorts for Bento Box Entertainment's A Studio Digital. In 2022, he directed and produced a 14-minute pilot that has screened at various film festivals, including the Academy and BAFTA-qualifying OutFest LA. He was an animation supervisor and compositor for Donald Glover and Six Point Harness' "Yoppaman." He did storyboards for the 93rd Academy Award-winning Netflix short "If Anything Happens I Love You," which led to work as a storyboard artist for various adult animated series, including Robot Chicken, Crossing Swords, Woke (Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, Adult Swim), and HouseBroken (Bento Box Entertainment, Fox). He also worked on Everybody Still Hates Chris (Titmouse Inc., Comedy Central) and contributed character design and storyboards to the Emmy-nominated Waffles + Mochi (Netflix), The Boys (Amazon Prime), Lil Kev (ShadowMachine, Paramount+), and Atlanta (FX).

      Currently, he's a director and supervising director's assistant on an unannounced adult animation series at ShadowMachine. If DeLon's not scribbling on his tablet at home, you can find him at a Vons buying ANOTHER buttercream cake; hey, he's an adult with free will. Please feel free to message him if you have any animation inquiries!
