1989

I was cleaning up my place, throwing out old papers, when I came across this caricature of yours truly. It was done by BRIAN LEMAY, way back in 1989/90 when I was in the Sheridan College Animation Program. I was a student, he was my teacher. The likeness is spot on! At least it was back then when I had hair and used to work out. I always loved Brian's work. His character designs on Inspector Gadget were wonderful. I learned a lot from him.

Garbage monster

I dunno. A garbage monster for a garbage painter experiment.

UP NEXT....NEW YORK

I wish I took more photos inside the Cartoon Network Studio, but I wasn't about to snap my camera at all the animation desks and toys and posters and drawings and animators, after all, I had a pitch to do. That's a page from my pitch package in my hand. I owe a huge thanks to my brother, Rob, and my friend, Errol, for doing the drawings for me. Long story short, the next step is to pitch it to the Cartoon Network Office in New York City. My meeting with Heather in Burbank was very positive. I can't thank her enough for giving me her time. The next step is to pitch to the NY offices, they specifically handle projects in the demographic that my pitch is targeted for. So with that out of the way...I still have a day to enjoy sunny California!!

ME AND BLOO!!!

Bloo and Lazlo playing around. You can't see it too good in this shot, but there is a glass display cabinet filled with Cartoon Network goodies. I want it all!!!

ME AND MANDY!!

The next person I bumped into was Mandy! She was her usual pissed off self, but I could tell she was happy to see me.

ME AND BILLY!!!!

This was the first person I saw when I entered the Cartoon Network Studio!

In good company.

I want to give a big THANK YOU to the guys over at IT'S JERRY TIME for giving me a nice link (with a way cool banner and everything!!!) on their WEBTOONS PAGE. CHECK IT OUT!!! It's amazing to be mentioned in the company of some great, super popular, sites like JIB JAB, ODD TODD, JOE CARTOON, OOOH BITEY, and FREDERATOR.
