From Comics to Animation.

Visual Storyteller at Heart.

Lora Innes brings a decade of experience to animation.

I dove headfirst into animation for the chance to work on Amazon’s Invincible after publishing four graphic novels—my award-winning series, The Dreamer, and IDW’s Wynonna Earp.

I never looked back. I was the animation director on the Russo Brothers’ SlugFest documentary, and have worked on all three seasons of Invincible, Warner Bros’ DC DTV superhero movies, Final SpaceGen:Lock, and Netflix’s unreleased Magic the Gathering. I’m currently working on X-Men ’97 for Marvel Studios.

Most of my experience is in older-audience action cartoons, but I’m interested in action adventure as well. I’m drawn to stories with compelling characters and well-developed arcs no matter the genre.

I love the collaborative nature of animation, and am passionate about creating diverse teams where every member’s unique voice is given a chance to shine. Together we can make something far more special than we could alone.

I try to give back unofficially by mentoring younger artists in the workplace, and officially as a Women in Animation mentor, and a contributor and art mentor at the 212 Creative Network.

If I’m not drawing, I’m probably working on my queer coming-of-age YA novel, binge watching my latest obsession, or soap boxing about obscure historical figures to anyone kind enough to listen.
