Andres Miranda has been working in animation for over 20 years, mostly as a layout and storyboard artist. If you’ve seen Netflix’s Carmen Sandiego, you’ve seen his work. He helped shape the look of the show, figuring out camera angles, blocking, and how each scene flowed from one beat to the next. He’s the kind of artist who thinks about where the audience is looking before they even know it themselves.

But he doesn’t just live in the animation world. On the side, Andres has been illustrating and publishing his own graphic novels, three so far. They’re not about superheroes or fantasy. They’re about real life: the chaos and quiet moments inside restaurants and bars, and the people who keep those places running. He’s also obsessed with cityscapes. He’s spent years sketching and documenting cities like Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, and New York, capturing details that most people walk right past.

He bounces between TV screens and sketchbooks, between studio gigs and his own personal projects. But it’s all coming from the same place: a genuine love for storytelling and a real fascination with how people move through spaces.
