Thanks to Thad Komorowski’s post, I finally get to see which cartoon these cool Mickey poses came from.
Thanks Thad!

Good Knight Nate! Hiya fella. I almost forgot about you.
And oh YEAH – this guy too. Hm. Better get moving.
228 years ago this month – history was made.

Head on over to Canadian Animation Resources to find out what happened!
AND – while yer at it, learn a bit about Brad Caslor, a fantastic cartoonist and animator from Winnipeg!
Someday I’ll learn how to draw, in the meantime you get these…
me messing around with other people’s drawings cause I can’t think of any poses this early in the morning. We just had a new addition to the family three weeks ago and I just wanna draw cute things all day. So sue me.

Over on Cartoon Brew, Amid Amidi had noted the passing of animation background painter Bob McIntosh yesterday.
Among his numerous credits in a long career is the Chuck Jones film ‘The Phantom Tollbooth’, which was adapted from a novel by Norton Juster and designed by Maurice Noble & released in 1970.
Last year I collected a bunch of screen caps from an old VHS copy of ‘Tollbooth’ and created a Flickr set of them HERE. At the time, I simply found the layouts of this film and the composition in general pretty arresting. The quality of the captures unfortunately isn’t very good, but you’ll get the idea.
If anyone happens to spot some of Mr. McIntosh’s work in there, please make a note in the Flickr comments.

Hey guys, just posted a new interview with Kris Pearn, Head of Story on ‘Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs’, over at Canadian Animation Resources. Check it out HERE.
We cover his career, the process of storyboarding for animation, and the pros & cons of television and feature storyboarding & reminisce on working together for a bit on ‘Cloudy’. It’s a two part interview, first part done in 2007, second part done last Monday! Enjoy!

Some work I stumbled across in a used bookstore. It’s the ever-lovin Harry Hargreaves! A successful UK cartoonist who had a 40 year career. More info on him HERE.

Well, the movie’s out, so here goes nothing. To see some storyboards I did for this film, click on the images above – each will take you to two different sequences. Fun stuff to draw! I like the director, Jimmy Hayward, he seemed like a nice guy and was easy to work with. Here’s to hoping he gets another film.
