Since 1985

Hi, I’m your tour guide!

Let’s get one thing straight—I’d much rather be creating than writing about myself. My focus has always been on sharing, promoting, and putting my work out into the world without overthinking the feedback.

But part of this journey means stepping into the spotlight, even just a little. Marketing and funding this endeavor require showing the world the person behind it all. So, here I am—a real person, passionate about bringing this project to life and sharing it with you.

About Joe Schlesinger

Hi, I’m Joe Schlesinger— an art-curious nerd with a background in IT and a passion for animation. While I currently work in the IT field, my true love lies in visual storytelling and bringing ideas to life through animation.

In May 2020, after 15 years of hard work and dedication, I earned a BA in Communications with a minor in Web Technology. This academic journey shaped my skills and gave me the foundation to pursue my creative ambitions.

Why Animation?

I’ve always appreciated the power of storytelling, especially in television. However, animation captured my heart because of its unique ability to combine creativity and independence. There’s something incredibly peaceful about working alone to craft visual stories that resonate with others.

The Silver Spring Show!

The Silver Spring Show! has been a decade-long passion project that started back in 2012 as a short cartoon. Life placed the project on pause, but the idea never left me. Over the years, it has evolved into an opportunity to improve my animation skills and share my vision with the world.

Now, after navigating life’s challenges—including overcoming executive functioning struggles and building the foundation for basic needs—I’m ready to bring The Silver Spring Show! to life. This project represents more than just animation; it’s a culmination of years of persistence, creativity, and growth.

What’s Next?

With a strong background in IT and a love for creative storytelling, I’m excited to focus on crafting compelling animations and sharing this journey with others. Stay tuned—The Silver Spring Show! is just the beginning.
