My Animation Desk

Here's a photo of my art table, complete with a 16 field animation disc and exposure sheets! The disc was a gift from veteran animator Karen Majoribanks, and the acme peg paper was generously given to me by animator Robin Steele!

The Mickey Mouse drawing on the disc is from the now closed "Magic of Disney Animation" exhibit from Walt Disney World. Gone, but not forgotten...

 It's been a while since I've last had a blog, but I've decided to start up another art blog again for the heck of it. No editorializing, gossip or bunk here--just pics, pics and more pics, with just enough words to give the cartoons context! Stay tuned--the fun is on the way, and it'll never end!
