Andrew A. (Andy) Luckey (born October 7, 1965 in San Francisco, California) is an American writer, director and producer, primarily of animated works. He also writes and illustrates children's books and Bible studies.
Luckey has produced over 300 hours of programming and was most notably a producer on the 1980s-'90's animated TV series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (which earned five Emmy nominations) and Adventures from the Book of Virtues. He is also the author and illustrator of the children's book series Spin & Sparkle.
Andy Luckey is the Son of Director/Animator/Actor Bud Luckey (1934– ) and a maternal cousin, twice removed, of Animator Earl Hurd (1880–1940) who co-created (with J.R. Bray) and patented the process for Cel Animation—a key component of traditional animation.
Luckey learned the craft of animation in his family's studio in San Francisco under his father, animator Bud Luckey. That studio produced numerous animated and combined live-animated television commercials and short films for The Children's Television Workshop's (now known as Sesame Workshop) series Sesame Street.
Following high school, Luckey briefly worked as a Visual Effects Designer for the Mill Valley, California based studio Audio Vision Projects. His most notable work there was co-designing, with famed Cinematographer Katsuya Ushino, the visual effects for the MTV music video of "Turn of the Century" featuring the Warner Bros. Records progressive British rock group Yes and vocalist Jon Anderson. The video was the directorial debut of Brian G. Smith who later came to fame as a director of fantasy sci-fi films.
