Mi chiamo Andrea Ballan, vivo a Varese e lavoro a Milano come autore tv e sceneggiatore, anche freelance, sono specializzato in produzioni per l'infanzia, ho in curriculum diverse serie a cartoni animati pre-school per Nickelodeon, Raisat e Comedy Central. Dopo il liceo classico mi sono laureato in Scienze Umanistiche per la Comunicazione all'Università degli Studi di Milano con una tesi dal titolo "Il cartone animato nella pubblicità italiana" relatore Enrico Lehmann, nel frattempo lavoravo già a Radio Lupo Solitario come speaker, regista, autore di programmi e spot pubblicitari. Sono stato copywriter presso alcune agenzie di pubblicità. Scrivo fumetti da cirda quattro anni, assistito -nel senso che mi tiene d'occhio- dal grande Michele Medda, creatore di Nathan Never e autore di Dylan Dog e Nick Raider. Sono chitarrista e cintura nera di kung fu, disciplina che ho praticato per circa quindici anni.
