Ep 45: Year of the Yeti with Jeremy Packer
Zombie Yeti joins us on this episode and not only do we talk Avengers and Turtles but we also talk about the rest of Zombie Yeti's pinball designed artwork.
Kineticist’s take
Jeremy Packer discusses managing three concurrent game releases while maintaining artistic integrity across licensed themes.
Synopsis
Jeremy Packer (Zombie Yeti), Stern Pinball renowned artist, discusses his unprecedented workload in the "Year of the Yeti" where he completed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Avengers, and has three more games in production. He details the accelerated Avengers schedule (January–February completion), his artistic approach to licensing (softening his style for TMNT's curvilinear '87 aesthetic, managing Derek Riggs influence on Iron Maiden), and his philosophy of turning down projects where he feels he cannot add meaningful value.
