Henry Daubrez is the creator and director of Junkyard King, a painterly animated series set in Oakhaven, Washington, in October 1989 — a town where three children have gone missing, and where the junkyard at its edge is not entirely in this world. Its hero is Artie, a geeky teenager with goggles, a red-yarn evidence map and an uncle who is never home; its second hero is Socket, a mechanical raven who insists he is not a chicken.
Chapter 0, The Pink Edge (March 2026), gives Artie a katana with a glowing pink edge and a first impossible fight — a rust knight, a hollow electromagnet in armour made of trash, beaten with brains and a five-ton crane hook. Chapter 1, Training (June 2026), explains the broken mirror world behind the junkyard and the girl called the Sovereign who rules its iron creatures — and ends with Socket recognising somebody. The two chapters have been watched more than twelve thousand times between them.
The series is made in a rich, hand-painted animation style, with Chapter 1’s description crediting InVideo Agent One as the tool it was made with. Junkyard King is an Arthurian story rebuilt out of scrap: a boy, a sword, a loyal bird, a stolen-children mystery, and a junkyard that turns out to be a kingdom.
