Todd McFarlane
Todd McFarlane is the creative powerhouse behind a multimedia empire that encompasses action figures, animation, film, TV, music video, comic books and video gaming. He began his artistic career pencilling for Marvel/Epic Comics in 1984. From there, he worked his way to the top of the talent roster before leaving Marvel to help found Image Comics with six other artists.

McFarlane's own character, Spawn, debuted in 1992, and the anti-hero's inaugural comic book sold 1.7 million copies – an unprecedented feat in independent comics. What followed was meteoric success, thanks to McFarlane's maverick style and unprecedented creative risk-taking.

  TME's first film project was the full-length 1997 live-action Spawn feature film. Grossing over $100 million internationally, it was New Line Cinema's third highest opener of all time.
  
  The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, which had its world premiere at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival and starred Jodie Foster (who also produced), featured critically acclaimed animated sequences by TME, intertwined within the live-action main story.
  
  Todd McFarlane: The Devil You Know, a full-length documentary had its United States DVD debut in April 2002. The National Film Board of Canada funded and filmed the project in 2000 and highlights McFarlane's illustrious comic book career.

• TELEVISION
  TME was responsible for the twice Emmy-winning and best-selling animated series Todd McFarlane's Spawn, which had a three-season run on HBO and accounted for three of HBO Home Video best-selling videos of all time. Dark themed and R rated, this pioneering series ushered in a new era of animation for adults in North America and continues to be the highest rated cable show for its time slot.
  
  
• MUSIC VIDEO
  Released in June 2006, the video for Disturbed's "Land of Confusion" was a traditional animated video. A cover of the 1980's Genesis song, the story of greed and its effect on the people of the world garnered critical acclaim around the world, especially in Europe and Asia. Depicted are members of the G8 who are under the control of "Greed" the true world's menace.
  
  In December 2002, McFarlane shot his first live-action music video for the Swollen Members' song, "Breath," which won the MuchVIBE Best Rap Video award at the Canadian MuchMusic Video show in 2003.
  
  TME produced and created the animation for the 1999 Korn "Freak on a Leash" music video for Epic Records. This piece won a Grammy and two MTV Video Music Awards that year. It was also awarded Spin magazine's "1999 Readers Best of Award" for music video and was #23 on MTV's list of the "100 Greatest Music Videos of All Time."
  
  The company had another Grammy nomination in 1998 for the "Do the Evolution" video for Pearl Jam. This video told the story of man's evolution and de-evolution from minute one of mankind's existence to the end of civilization.
