Aaron Springer (born September 5, 1973)[1] is an American cartoonist, animator, artist, writer, director, and voice actor.
A graduate of the California Institute of the Arts, Springer began his career in animation working for Spümcø, later departing the company for Cartoon Network Studios.
His most recognizable pilot is Korgoth of Barbaria for Adult Swim in 2006, which was originally picked up for a full series (because of its critical and commercial success with garnering high ratings), however the decision was eventually passed up as the production costs would've been too expensive, so says later events, including a formal petition to revive the show.
[2] Springer also created Periwinkle Around the World back in 2004 for Cartoon Network, that was divided into five separate two-minute shorts, produced and directed by Genndy Tartakovsky.
Springer has cited Richard Scarry, Sergio Aragonés, Frank Frazetta, Vaughn Bodē, Akira Toriyama, Hideshi Hino, Shigeru Mizuki and Hugo Pratt amongst his influences.
