From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeanette 'Jett' Atwood is an American animator and cartoonist currently living in San Francisco. A graduate of classical animation at Sheridan College, Jett has worked on numerous video games and short films as a storyboard artist, animator, and writer. Among her Smart Bomb Interactive titles are "Pac-Man World Rally" (8/2006) and "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron" (2006). Atwood is a successful cartoonist with numerous works, both online web comics, and in print.
She is the creator of "Red Sparrow", detailing the trials of a rookie super hero, the Battlestar Galactica parody "Frakkin' Toasters" and the "Xena" parody "Battle-On". Some of her strips from "Battle-On" have been re-printed and featured in the books "Lucy Lawless & Renee O'Connor: Warrior Stars of Xena" and "How Xena Changed Our Lives", both by Nikki Stafford.
Atwood is a regular contributor to Sunstone Magazine.
In 2005 her comic "Puzzles" was collected in the Eisner Award nominated anthology, 24 Hour Comics Day Highlights 2005. It was her first 24-hour comic. For the 2006 "24 Hour Comic Day" Jett created a sequel "Loose Threads." It revisits the characters approximately a year and a half after the events of "Puzzles," (that being the amount of time between the competition.) A year after that the final chapter "Word Games" was completed as part of the 2007 24 Hour comic challenge.
Jett is working on compiling the Puzzles trilogy as a graphic novel to be released in July 2008. She is also editing a comic anthology entitled "Scrivener's Toves," also to be released July 2008.
