🎙️ Welcome to a new episode of the Dad Up Podcast!
🟫 Parenting With Creativity & Faith | Featuring Howard “Quiggly” Chang and Bryan Ward | Ep. 307
👉 Howard “Quiggly” Chang is a legendary toy concept artist whose creativity helped bring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures to life in the late ‘80s and ‘90s.
👉 As a lead illustrator at Varner Studios, Howard created the concept art behind hundreds of the figures that became staples in every kid’s toy box.
👉 But Howard’s story doesn’t stop with turtles and nostalgia.
👉 Today, he’s on a mission to merge his passion for design with his faith through his latest project, Ancientz—Legends Reborn.
👉 This innovative action figure line reimagines biblical heroes like David, Deborah, and Gideon as futuristic robotic warriors—giving parents and kids a fun, powerful, and faith-centered way to connect.
👉 In this episode, Howard shares his journey from sketching Ninja Turtles to building toys that inspire deeper conversations about courage, legacy, and spiritual growth.
👉 His story is one of creativity, conviction, and the belief that toys can be both “cool” and meaningful.
