Death Hacks!

Check out this show I got to work on for Snapchat! It stars Thomas Middleditch, Kristen Schaal, and James Adomian. I was an animatic artist, which is my favorite role on these productions. I get the script, audio, character designs, and thumbnails, and then it’s in my hands to sculpt the timing, composition, and acting. I love it!

It’s also a little bittersweet to watch. This was the last project I worked on in person before the world shut down. My last day there was March 2nd, 2020, and everything felt so normal! I look back on the days where I could traipse into the animation studio and goof around with my fellow artists. Sigh.

Here’s a trailer, and below that, the first episode:

What Happened to Neil Numberman??

Well Hello! Welcome to my new site! Great to have you? Who am I, you ask? I’m Brian Michael Weaver. Let me explain:

Many years ago, when my career was first beginning, I noticed there were many, MANY other Brian Weavers, and even a couple Brian MICHAEL Weaver illustrators. So I thought, how about a pen name?

So I became Neil Numberman! But… it never felt like a perfect match, and I always missed my REAL name.

So now Brian Michael Weaver is BACK! I hope you enjoy this new website. Today is the OFFICIAL launch!

And since you’ve come all this way, let’s celebrate with a St. Patrick’s Day puzzle for Highlights Magazine!
