Walter Brogan

I was blown away by the work of a new member of Storyboard Central, Walter Brogan. This guy can really draw the tough shots!

And right away, I thought Walter's work had a nice comic book flare (with a dash of that classic Neal Adams style in it, yes?)

So I asked Walter for a short biography and sure enough, he's had an association with comics (and specifically with Neal Adams). Read on...

I started working while still in my third year of college -SVA- at Mavel on a magazine called "CRAZY", doing the T.V. and movie satires. after school I started working as an assistant art director at FOOTE CONE BELDING advertising agency - then moved to BENTON BOWLES advertising agency drawing storyboards while still working at CRAZY. I left New York to go work at the WALT DISNEY STUDIOS in 1980, did work at Hanna Barbera , Filmation and some smaller ad agencies. I stayed in L.A. for about 4 years... then came back to N.Y. (I couldn't take the snog in L.A.)

Anyway I started working at "CRACKED" magazine (I worked at CRACKED for almost 20 years) and did some boards on a movie called GALAXY RANGERS for about a year. In 1986 I started working at J.WALTER THOMPSON advertising agency,left JWT after 6 years and got a few reps. One was FAMOUS FRAMES, another was WARSHAW BLUMENTHAL,and the thirds was BURRITO BOARDS. I've been working from home now this way for many years. I also worked for NEAL ADAMS on and off - walter brogan.
