Adrian Hancock

Adrian Mill Hancock (born November 16, 1972) is an American animator, director, writer, and visual artist who is best known for directing films at the Bear Bones Productions animation studio. His films are known for combining realistic — and sometimes, intense — stories with unique visual styles.

Early life
Adrian Hancock was born on November 16, 1972 in Baltimore, Maryland, the third of four children of Jennifer Kosslyn, a librarian, and Leroy Hancock, a real estate agent. He has a younger sister, Bobby, and two older brothers, named Conroy and Duff. When he was four years old, his family moved to Colonial Heights, Virginia, where he would spend most of his youth.

Hancock's childhood interests included movies, art design, and comedy. Since 1979, he would use toys to create his own skits inspired by numerous sitcoms and feature films, one notable example of the latter being Airplane!. By the time he was ten, his interest in comedy began to fade in favor of a darker, more adventurous taste, as a result of his exposure to such films as Raiders of the Lost Ark and Flash Gordon.

In the gym at Colonial Heights Middle School, thirteen-year old Hancock met Matthew Gullahorn, and together they shared their own distinct stories. Hancock and Gullahorn started collaborating on school projects in 1986, continuing into high school until their graduation in 1991. As of the 2000s, Hancock and Gullahorn have been working on separate projects in the Bear Bones studio and its siblings.
