WHAT I LIKE JESS JOHNSON
The third series of the New Zealand adult cartoon is in production and will screen on Maori Television. It follows the stories of a chaotic multicultural family and a brother-sister band called Hook Ups. It’s written by Jessica Hansell – also known as Coco Solid – who’s a very funny and talented writer, rapper, artist, director, producer and Fulbright Scholar, and the animation is done by my collaborator Simon Ward and the team that makes my own artwork animations. I may secretly resent the time Simon was to New Zealanders in the ’80s.
