The Adventure Time Blog

Today is lead character designer Phil Rynda’s last day on Adventure Time. You like to think everyone on any production has made an invaluable, lasting, and distinctive contribution to the show, but in Phil’s case you really can’t understate how important he’s been to Adventure Time (and nearly since day one, too). And if his awesome work weren’t enough, he’s just a really good guy to have around. We only hope Frederator has the nice fortune to work with him again.

Enjoy these few Phil moments from the first two seasons. For Phil in action, watch Chogrin’s video right here.

Not only are they responsible for Adventure Time’s character designs, but Phil, Tom, and Natasha have got to come up with the show’s props, from castle cracks to rain puddles. I know I’m being lazy by posting so many here (just a share of the episode’s total), but it’s Friday.
