Fable Siegel
Director, Lackadaisy
Fable Siegel is an animator and comic artist who lives with a flock of modern-day dinosaurs (parrots, chickens, and pigeons, oh my!). Native to New Hampshire, Fable's bold, moody artistic style was heavily influenced by the dark atmosphere of the cold northern woods. Their credits over a decade-plus career include board artist on Ben 10 (2016), animator on Midnight Gospel, and animator on Hazbin Hotel. Bouncing between several studios before committing fully to indie animation in 2020, Fable landed the role of director for Lackadaisy: The Animated Short, based on the webcomic of the same name penned by Tracy Butler.
You can follow the project's development at The Little Daisy Cafe and read Fable's New England-set zombie apocalypse series, Umbagog, here. Follow them on Twitter @Fablepaint for daily updates on everything mentioned, with frequent art streams featuring cast, crew and friends on Twitch.
