About Me

Sean Blanchard is a multimedia artist based in Boston, Massachusetts. He primarily works in the fields of comedic writing and animation, with past works in experimental analog film and sculpture installations. His work is an accumulation of the world through his lens and ownership, with his personality, internal thoughts, and physical expressions constantly being constructed in response to the media he engages with. Blanchard is a hoarder of all things he finds funny, unpredictable, and unique, and repurposes them into his work. As a self-described “collage artist”, Blanchard’s work, while often incorporating elements of visual collage, is always accumulated through a collage of thought. Finding elements from various storytelling techniques, he works to fight notions of genre-based thinking and create stories that feel polished, while containing the mundanity, humor, tragedy, and despair that reality often holds. Blanchard holds a B.A. in both Communications and Film Media from the University of Rhode Island and an M.F.A. in Film and Media Arts from Emerson College.
