==History==
Long is from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He attended and graduated from Max the Mutt College of Animation, Art & Design in Toronto, where he first started making cartoons on his own using Adobe Flash. He posted his creations, starring his original character Fester Fish, on YouTube, where it was seen by companies in LA who began hiring him for freelance work while he was completing his studies. 
He has worked as a director, animator, character designer, and storyboarder on shows such as BoJack Horseman (Netflix), Greatest Party Story Ever (MTV) and TripTank (Comedy Central), as well as his own original projects Sublo & Tangy Mustard and Fester Fish.
Long principally uses the software Adobe Flash and Adobe Photoshop to create his films. Long's work is strongly influenced by theatrical animation of the 1940s, particularly directors Bob Clampett, Tex Avery and Chuck Jones.
In 2012, he began animating the short "Bakerman and the Bunnymen" for Sonic Bunny Productions.
Since June 2013, he has resided in Los Angeles and worked at ShadowMachine on the TV series TripTank and BoJack Horseman. In 2016, he was a key contributor to BoJack Horseman's "Fish Out of Water" episode.
Starting in 2015, Long developed an indie webtoon in his spare time titled "Sublo and Tangy Mustard", centering around two slackers working as costumed mascots for a Canadian sub sandwich chain named Subpar. The series soon became a Newgrounds staple, with Long launching a Patreon alongside the production of new episodes.
In 2019, he directed three episodes of the animated series Tuca & Bertie, as well as the show's opening credits. In an interview, Long claimed "This show has been the most fun I've had in my career so far, especially directing the main title sequence."
