I had worked closely with the Grawlix gents and their filmmaker collaborators the Nix Bros., so this was an exciting opportunity to partner with them for something new. I had never worked a film/TV set before, and—at the time—the idea that Amazon wanted to make TV shows was quaintly puzzling, but it turned out to be a blast. Over a crazy week I designed the look and feel of the fictitious Buchanan High School, including school mascot, background gags, props, costume wrangling, fake food styling, show title card, and anything else that needed doing.
