JAVIER SALAZAR
 DIRECTOR . PRODUCER . ILLUSTRATOR . IP CREATOR

Salazar started drawing comics at 4, and he never stopped.  As a shy, short-sighted kid, watching TV was his favorite sport, and making up crazy stories on paper, his passion.

​

Later on, he studied advertising, TV production, and scriptwriting, and spent many years polishing those skills, as an advertising copywriter, TV producer, and creative director.

​

Lastly, one day in 2005 he decided it was time to finally fulfill his childhood dream of creating his own cartoons.

That day his animation studio BANZAI was born.

 

16 years later, Salazar holds a proven track record of successfully producing and delivering original content, commercials, and countless promos, having also directed more than 200 episodes of animated TV series and two multi-awarded stop motion short films.

​

Recently relocated to Vancouver, Canada, he is currently working his way into the booming local Animation industry.

​

Salazar is also a proud father, an amateur samurai, and a not-so-talented guitar player. 

​

And he keeps on drawing every day.
