Dave Pressler is an American illustrator, animator, sculptor, character designer and painter based in Los Angeles. Much of his work focuses on whimsical portrayals of robots and strange, fantastical creatures. He is perhaps best known for his Emmy-nominated, short-lived Nickelodeon series Robot and Monster, which he created and produced with Joshua Sternin and Jennifer Ventimilia.
Pressler’s career in entertainment first started in his twenties after moving to Los Angeles. The first characters he designed were “Gak & Phlegm,” a duo of characters Dave created with Dan Clark to interview celebrities with on the red-carpet. After that, Dave secured a position as a character developer at The Jim Henson Company. Along with partners Dan Clark and Don Asher, Dave (the trio forming Wandering Monkey Entertainment) became a key production / charaicter designer for shows like Los Luchadores and Brats of the Lost Nebula, which TV Guide rated as The Best Children’s Show of 1998. He has also developed shows and worlds for networks such as Kids' WB, Nelvana, Disney XD, Fox Kids Network and Wild Brain, among others. Dave was the creature designer, co-producer and co-star of the indie-horror film The Item. The film was the first digital feature to be accepted to Sundance Film Festival. Dave went on to create the distinctive visual design for the Emmy-nominated CGI children’s adventure show for The Learning Channel, The Save-Ums.
