Larry Daley spent fifteen years as both an
Art Director and Editor at DC Comics Entertainment and Warner Bros. Studios, helping to develop DC's library of characters for media development and licensed products. His work with characters like BATMAN and SUPERMAN has appeared in several feature films & television series, as well as toys, video games, licensed publishing, custom comics, theme parks, corporate branding and global promotions.
Larry was lucky enough to begin his career as a personal assistant to filmmaker TIM BURTON during the making of A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. Larry spent most of his time helping Mr. Burton assemble his original sketches and final art for the picture book published by Hyperion. Larry also worked as an editorial assistant at Marvel Comics, as well as a production assistant for Douglas Trumbull Studios and Topps Trading Cards. Larry also co-produced the Emmy-nominated documentary, MAYOR OF THE WEST SIDE, which tells the coming-of-age story of a teenager with multiple disabilities who becomes a celebrity in his New York City neighborhood.
Following his time at Warner Bros., Larry joined Innovative Toys, Inc. as creative director to design and develop their debut brand, The ScareMeNots - a line of bedtime monsters that help children face their fear of the dark.
The kids product line earned several awards for "best new product," as well as formal interest from Hasbro Toys.
Today, Larry dedicates his efforts illustrating and building at his studio on the New Hampshire seacoast. He is always happy to talk about Batman.
