About Don Dixon

Don Dixon is a multidisciplinary artist whose work blends fine art, animation, and storytelling to reflect the energy, emotion, and truth of the world around us. With over 20 years of experience in design and animation, Don channels childhood wonder, cultural commentary, and raw imagination into everything he creates—from gallery paintings to children’s books. He believes in art’s power to spark dialogue and fuel creative freedom.

Growing up in a household where his father, a pioneering Black engineer in the robotics and toy industry, built seven-foot-tall robots, Don’s path was shaped by innovation and resilience. He’s worked on major animated films like The Book of Life and Scoob!, published meaningful children’s books like Dandelion, and continues to use his voice and visuals to inspire change, healing, and curiosity.
