Bill Morrison Biographical Information
 

Bill Morrison started his career in Dee-troit Michigan as a technical illustrator, but what he really wanted to do was draw cartoons. When Bill decided that he had drawn his last diesel fuel pump, he moved to Southern California with his wife and two cats.  He began working immediately in motion picture advertising which eventually lead to the opportunity to draw and paint a whole slew of movie posters for Walt Disney. Included in that lengthy list are The Little Mermaid, Bambi, Peter Pan and The Jungle Book.

 In 1990, Bill was recruited by Twentieth Century Fox’s licensing and merchandising department to draw The Simpsons for nearly all of the T-shirts, video games, posters, toy packaging, etc. which was the fuel of 90’s Simpsonmania, and he occasionally took time to create designs for the TV show itself.  He also contributed greatly to Matt Groening’s publishing endeavors with artwork for Simpsons books and calendars. When Matt decided to start a comic book company, Bill was hired on as art director of Bongo Comics and drew the very first Simpsons comic story. He received an Eisner Award for his contribution to Simpsons Comics #1 and has had a hand in every Bongo Comic to date, either writing, pencilling, inking or supervising.

In 1997, Matt Groening went into pre-production on his next show, Futurama.  Bill helped out with character design, and when the show began full production, he was brought on board as art director. 

 In addition to his work on The Simpsons and Futurama, Bill has written and drawn his own comic book series; the four-time Eisner Award-nominated Roswell, Little Green Man and co-created the comic book series Heroes Anonymous.

He has also recently written a Captain Carrot mini-series for DC Comics.

 His current creative obsession is Lady Robotika, which he is co-creating with his friend and writing partner, Jane Wiedlin.
