WB Animation, YOUNG JUSTICE, Crew Photo, Character Design.
Here's a shot of me, and Dusty Abell (affectionately dubbed, "Dust-Why," a very silly inside joke. Hi, Phil! Hi, Gar-Why!). Dusty and I share this office, listening to music and cracking jokes while working hard, assisting Phil "Emmy-Lad" Bourassa in cleaning up and designing the characters for the YOUNG JUSTICE show. As Dusty always says, "Good times!"
You mean because they cannot be recognized outside the way celebrities are? If so, yes celebrity status I think is way overated. But still, writers and animators, and other artists involved in the animation process do deserve some recognition, or at least an awareness of the creative and hard work they do. BTW you have my dream job.
Many successful animators receive acknowledgment and recognition enough. But the true reward is in seeing the hard work reach fruition, and watching as it entertains audiences for generations. The best perspective for a commercial artist to have is that the work must be a labor of love, first and foremost. Wealth and fame is never a proper motivation, and especially not for those in the creative arts. We are blessed with a gift of talent, and the greatest fulfillment of that talent is in its fullest development, its most sincere expression, and with the instilling of joy in others.
As for the other thing... I have MY dream job. YOURS awaits you.

You know what I meant; working as an artist for any major animation studio like WB, Disney or Pixar would be my dream job.
