Hello! I’m an award winning filmmaker, animator and illustrator based in Brooklyn, New York.

With over a decade of freelance experience, I’ve worked as a 2D animator and director for clients such as Pokémon, the NBA, 2 Chainz, Eminem & Snoop Dogg, Netflix, Showtime, Disney and the X-Games. In addition, my short films have played at a variety of prestigious festivals, illustrations have been both published and featured in prominent gallery exhibitions and I’ve served on several film festival juries.

Recently my film Buzzkill screened at over 60 festivals, winning 12 awards including Best Animated Short at Screamfest, Flicker's RIIFF Vortex, GenreBlast and Woodstock - the latter resulting in an Academy Award qualification. It’s now streaming on Alter and as a Vimeo Staff Pick.

These days I’m available for remote work from my home studio, which includes a large Cintiq, Adobe’s Creative Suite, a grumpy cat and all the necessary file sharing and communication tools.

Happy Holidays 2021

Happy Holidays 2021

Peter Ahern

Welp it’s the end of the year. Here we are. Yep. Time has passed and it’s telling us “Hey, you might be stuck in perpetual uncertainty but I’m still doin’ my thang, so get ready to roll that ‘21 over when you sign your next rent check”. Thanks pandemic. But despite it all, this has been a productive work year both commercially and independently and I’m very grateful for that. And so I illustrated this artwork to post on my social accounts as a holiday card of sorts and to remind everyone that “the wolf on the hill is not as hungry as the wolf climbing it”. Stay driven. See you in 2022.
