Max Maleo is an art director, storyteller, painter, musician, and fun loving father. He lives and works in Paris, France. Max and I became very close while working at DreamWorks Animation together. As love often does, his dedication to his wife Vanessa called him back to Paris where they live the very coolest life one can imagine. In his spare time Max focuses on his music as he constructs his mission control modular synthesizer. He is now an art director and story writer working on various feature films. There is no end to his creativity, nor to his devotion to those he loves. Somehow through all of this Max has nurtured his inner child and remains a free spirited, rasta monkey-style humanoid.
