I’ve always loved cartoons and have drawn them for as long as I can remember. I even got to realize a dream and became a “classic” style animator. That was before computers when everything animation cel was drawn by hand, inked, painted, and finally filmed. I got to work on theatrical, commercial, and Saturday morning projects.
One of the most fulfilling things I’ve done is to go from school to school teaching 4th, 5th, and 6th graders how fun drawing cartoons and shapes in 3D can be. The lesson, besides the fun of drawing, was showing them how to see the world in new ways.
I decided to change course away from animation and have drawn cartoons for magazines, newspapers, editorials, spot ads, websites, and more. I still love it.
