James Farr is a freelance animator and animation director based at present in Tulsa, OK. He is widely known by the online community for his animated series Xombie, which quickly gained cult status in 2003 and has spawned a soon-to-be-released illustrated novel as well as an upcoming animated feature film. His films are particularly popular on Newgrounds, where they have over 4.5 million views. All of the Xombie chapters are almost always within the top-50 list, and James Farr is currently the third-highest-rated artist on Newgrounds. [1]

His favorite food is Japanese; his favorite film, Serenity. He likes the band Coldplay and has an affection for Transformers. His portfolio includes work for Epic Level entertainment, New Line Cinema, GeekRescue.com and the Oklahoma City Blazers.

According to leaked emails from Sector Seven [2], where Farr moonlights as Lead Researcher, he was involved in an accident while performing an experimental procedure on a decepticon subject, Frenzy. Frenzy is usually known as a harmless audio cassette.

[edit] Projects

He currently has several projects in various stages of production. These include:

[edit] Xombie

Xombie tells the story of a little girl named Zoe, who washes ashore several decades after a zombie plague has wiped out most life on Earth and replaced it with bloodthirsty reanimated versions of the planet's previous inhabitants. She is saved from a swarm of zombies by Dirge, a "variant", a zombie who has retained their conscious mind and the ability to think like a human. (According to the official website, the variants are called "xombies", but the term has yet to be used in the series itself, likely because it is pronounced the same way as "zombie".) Dirge takes it upon himself to perform one last good deed before his zombie body withers away and begins a journey to reunite Zoe with the few remaining live humans and save her from a gruesome death at the hands of the undead.

[edit] Call of the Cryptids

An animation series in production about the struggles of Tempest, a young cryptozoologist, haunted by ghoulish visions of her childhood, desperately searching for proof of monsters unknown to modern science. Upon discovering a note addressed to her and written in riddles, she is flung into a secret war of monsters, to which the rest of the world is seemingly oblivious.

[edit] Legends of Nephthys

Currently in pre-production.
