About Chris “Kilika” Malone

Aloha, dudes and dudettes! I love telling stories, and I think cartoons are the best way to do that.

My favorite thing to create in cartoons are storyboards, backgrounds, and character designs. Basically everything that goes into preproduction!

I’ve worked for a variety of rad cartoons such as the Emmy-winning show Archer, Cyanide and Happiness, Baby Shark, Adam Ruins Everything, and more.

Additionally, I am the coordinator for the Digital Animation degree at Kennesaw State University in Georgia, where I teach as a tenure-track professor. I’m passionate about teaching students how to make a living off of their artwork, and I’m super proud of all of my students.

I completed my MFA in Sequential Art from Savannah College of Art and Design (Atlanta), and my BFA in Kinetic Imaging from Virginia Commonwealth University.

As for personal stuff about me, I'm crazy about guinea pigs, and when I surf, I prefer longboards to shortboards.
