Michele St Martin caught up with Shawn Smith; President of Shawnimals at the NY Comic Con April 2008. visit www.catchdacraze.com for more... About shawnimal smith Shawn Smith was born in Joliet, IL in 1975. Back then he was interested in G.I. Joe, Kermit the Frog, drawing pictures and playing video games. In fact, he still is! Shawn started Shawnimals after becoming disenchanted with the droves of sketchbooks he had lying around, with characters that may not have been used otherwise. "Why not make plush versions of these simple-shaped characters?" Shawn's quick history: He worked at Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine from 1995 - 2000 as a video game and gaming hardware reviewer. He decided to go back to school to study art. It was there Shawnimals were born in a town called Normal, IL. Shawn is interested in all areas of art, but is currently most interested in character-based art in its many forms (plush, drawings, vinyl, etc).
