Toby Jones (born March 31)[1] is a former storyboard artist for Regular Show.

Early life[]

His hometown is Fargo, North Dakota.[2] In 1998, as a child, Toby was interviewed on local access television about an "animated series" he made.[3] He would then attend the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, majoring in Filmmaking, for four years.[4]

Career[]

He was hired to work on Regular Show in a rather unusual way: a frustrated J.G. Quintel was looking for storyboard artists and desperately made a tweet via his Twitter account, stating "looking for board artists". Jones tweeted back and emailed Quintel via Facebook, interested in doing a storyboard test for the show. Quintel gave him one, and he passed the test.[5]

Jones further elaborates what he did before being hired and how it's like to be on one of his favorite shows: "About six months ago [article was written on May 17, 2012] I was living in Minneapolis [Minnesota] and working at a movie theatre to [barely] make ends meet while devoting my free time to comic and film projects. I was a big fan of Regular Show and never missed an episode. One day I noticed a post on J.G. Quintelā€™s twitter that said 'Iā€™m searching for board artists for Regular Show. neeeeeed [sic] more [story]board artists' and figured I may as well give it a go. I sent him some samples of my comic and film work and he liked them enough to send me a storyboard test. Then I got the job and moved to LA [Los Angeles, California]! Thank god. To say Iā€™m 'living the dream' would be an understatement. I never imagined Iā€™d get an opportunity to work on any show, let alone one of my absolute favorites."[6]

Jones has stated his biggest challenge is coming up with fresh ideas: "Freshness is extremely important to me when it comes to working [on] the show. It can be tempting to fall into old patterns ā€” ā€˜That got a laugh five pages ago and Iā€™ll do that again.ā€™ I donā€™t like doing that ever. I would try something a little weirder or something strange. Sometimes that works and sometimes that doesnā€™t. But the important thing is freshness!ā€[7]

His other works includes comics for Memory Foam, Good Minnesotan, Ghost Comics and FORT90.[6] Toby also made a short for Cartoon Network, entitled A.J.'s Infinite Summer.[8]

In 2016, Jones co-produced and developed the Cartoon Network mobile game OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo with creator Ian Jones-Quartey. He would later serve as the supervising director when it became a full series.
