The story of Little Spirit
The Early Days
Robert & The Wisp
The little wisp, the adorable face of Little Spirit, came to Robert as a child, drawing on index cards in his brother's bedroom. At the time, he wanted to invent his own Pokémon. Years later, on very late night during his time in design school in the Fall of 2017, he remembered his ideas and whipped up The Wisp, almost immediately from memory. The other spirits were drawn the same night.
He'd always dreamed up and doodled ideas of mysterious forest spirits, known to be both mischievous & benevolent in nature. So it was inevitable that The Wisp would open his eyes & come to life one day.

More about Robert
Robert's a West Seattleite; an avid traveler, ardent filmmaker & photographer, and dedicated writer. His fervent and vivid imagination fuel all his endeavours. A lifetime of poor eyesight led him to engage in the world through his senses of hearing & touch. Music plays as much of a role as visuals, and the gravity of touch is a common motif in his films.
Robert's working independently, and writing two feature length films he's pretty stoked about. He's currently living in Seattle, Washington with his 12 cats.
Just kidding, but can you imagine? 12 cats, holy shit. Imagine having to be the one cleaning all those litter boxes.
