Advancing Visual Storytelling
Inside Packed Lunch
Packed Lunch is rooted in the passion of our founders - Roy Joseph Butler and Leo Crane - to enable a wider appreciation with making art. Their dynamic partnership nurtured a unique integration of fine art with animation, creating award-winning work that just so happened to also inspire rich opportunities for public engagement in all manner of visual storytelling.
