Thomas Herpich is an illustrator, comic artist, and storyboard artist who has worked almost exclusively on Adventure Time. Initially working on the show as a designer, Herpich started storyboarding at the end of the show's first season and has written and storyboarded episodes such as "Her Parents," "Guardians of Sunshine," and "Thank You". He has also written outlines for many of the episodes he has written and storyboarded, including "Goliad" and "Be More".
The Adventure Time mini-episode called "The Wand" was solely storyboarded by Herpich, and the song "Melons" was written by him for the episode "Another Way." He has storyboarded more episodes than any other storyboard artist on the show, and is also the only person to storyboard an episode in every season so far.
Herpich is also a comic artist and has published the alternative comics "Cusp", "Gongwanadon", and "White Clay". He has also appeared in VICE and Meathaus, and recently self published a new illustrated short story entitled ""Yes"".
He was also a writer and storyboard artist for the Cartoon Network mini-series Over the Garden Wall, and has worked as a character designer on Jesse and Justin Moynihan's "Manly", and as a background designer on the pilot episodes for Rebecca Sugar's "Steven Universe" and Skyler Page's "Clarence".
