At last, what we've been waiting for! The start of the American Dad Fine Art Program.

American Dad! was created during the immediate period after producer Seth MacFarlane's original series, Family Guy had been cancelled by FOX (it has since been restored). As a result, the show's creators purposely attempted to re-create a Family Guy-esque dynamic that the existing writers and production team would be comfortable with.

Compared to Family Guy, which makes heavy use of non sequitur cutaways and nonsensical (nearly dadaist) humor, parodying celebrities and other pop culture icons, American Dad! follows a generally more coherent, linearly plot-driven storyline, and is easier to understand without as much background information. Fans and critics alike have noted the similarities between the two. The nuclear family concept in both series is strongly conceived, with a (Simpsons-esque) father/mother/sister/brother in each. Both of the dads in the shows (Peter Griffin of Family Guy and Stan Smith of American Dad!) are portrayed as idiots. Some claim that Stan is essentially Joe Swanson with working legs or a smarter, buffed-up Glen Quagmire, although neither is technically correct. Their respective wives are the voices of reason, and come from almost the exact opposite background as their husbands. The families each have a son (who try to follow in their father's footsteps), a daughter (who is considered a type of outcast: Meg - social outcast, Hayley - political outcast), and a talking pet. The only difference in the family structure is the inclusion of Stewie Griffin in Family Guy, whereas American Dad! has Roger, although both can be seen as science fiction type characters (talking baby genius - alien). Both characters have also shown signs of the possibility that they are homosexuals.

The process of Animation is often a collaborative effort. The evidence of this can often be seen in the long credits at the end of most animated shorts and films.

Whilst only the most talented and skilled artisans would be employed by the studios, it is often difficult to attribute the corresponding artist to the exact piece of artwork we offer.

We therefore credit this artwork as being created by a Studio Artist, acknowledging their skill and talent bringing joy to collectors around the world.
