Hello! I’m Tristin cole
Animator, Author, Illustrator
I am a Los Angeles based background painter and visual development artist obsessed with crafting immersive animated worlds. From Batman to Scooby-Doo, from Animaniacs to Spongebob, I bring stories to life with color, lighting, and environments that spark imagination. I love turning ideas into visuals that resonate—whether it’s for TV, film, or digital projects—and collaborating with studios like Warner Bros., Nickelodeon, Disney, and Paramount.
In addition to the opportunity to serve the animation community, I am a Children’s Book Author and Illustrator. My book titles include “Into the Night”, “Bodhi and the Coyote”, “A Bundle of Joey”, “The Humble Bee”, “Stanley”, “The Girl Who Sings”, and “Peace the Unicorn”.
