Andy Harkness is an art director at Disney. This short bio is taken from his website: “I attended the Columbus College of Art and Design in Ohio from 1991-1993 and was hired at Disney Feature Animation in 1994. I began my career as a clean-up animator on “Pocahontas”, and after three years in clean-up, moved into the layout department. In 2004, I was hired as an Art Director at Sony Pictures Animation on “Open Season. In 2006 I moved back to Disney and worked as an Art Director and Visual Development artist on many films.
