    Hello! My name is Max Esby and I'm storyboard artist based in NY.  

 

    I've always had a passion for story telling whether it's a small joke or a complex plot, watching a story come together is what brings me joy. 

​

    If you're looking for a passionate artist to bring your story to life, I would be thrilled to lend a hand.
