Early life
Sugar was raised in the Sligo Park Hills area of Silver Spring, Maryland. She simultaneously attended Montgomery Blair High School and the Visual Arts Center at Albert Einstein High School, both in Maryland.[3] She went on to attend the School of Visual Arts in New York.[4]
Career
Sugar first joined the crew of Adventure Time as a storyboard revisionist during the show's first season.[5] She was promoted to a storyboard artist during production of the second season, beginning with the episode "It Came from the Nightosphere".[6]
Production for Steven Universe began while Sugar was still working on Adventure Time. She continued working on Adventure Time until the show's fifth season, whereupon she left in order to focus on Steven Universe. Her last episode for Adventure Time was "Simon & Marcy"; following that episode, working on both series simultaneously "became impossible to do". She had also previously encountered difficulty in the production of the Adventure Time episode "Bad Little Boy".[7] Sugar did, however, return to the Adventure Time crew temporarily to write the song "Everything Stays" for the seventh season miniseries "Stakes".[8]
Sugar designed the album cover of True Romance for Estelle, the voice of Garnet on Steven Universe.
Accolades
Rebecca Sugar's work on Adventure Time gained Primetime Emmy Award for Short-format Animation nominations for the episode "It Came from the Nightosphere" in 2011 and for the episode "Simon & Marcy" in 2013, as well as a 2012 Annie Award nomination for Best Storyboarding in a Television Production.[9][10][11] In 2012, Forbes magazine included her on its "30 Under 30 in Entertainment" list, noting that she was responsible for "many of the best episodes" of Adventure Time.[1]
For her work on Steven Universe, Sugar was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Short-format Animation for the episode "Lion 3: Straight to Video".[12]
Personal life
On February 13, 2016, Ian Jones-Quartey confirmed on Twitter that they've been in a romantic relationship for the past 8 years.[13] He added that they met when Sugar was at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Her father Rob Sugar has stated that she and her brother Steven were raised with what he refers to as "Jewish sensibilities". Both siblings share the lighting of Hanukkah candles with their parents via Skype.[14]
