Meta: Annie Award Ad
Antran Manoogian, the President of ASIFA-Hollywood, asked me to write an article for the Annie Award program book reporting on all the great things the Archive Project has achieved in the past year. I asked him if I could tell the story in pictures, rather than words. Here is the image that will be running full page in the book...
Can you name the artist behind each one of these images?
I recieved this note from a reader today...
I wish your organization much of luck, for not only the future of your foundation, but to continue to strive, survive, and share freely your archives to the public. Since the majority of people believe where, by all accounts, it's the norm to be as bland and repulsive as possible in the input of their artwork. I had found not only your archives a great source for study, but to also take a peek of what it would have been like to work with some of the greats not only in animation, but in children's illustration as well. Plus, your free "$100,000" animation drawing course had increasingly increased not only my skill, but also my knowledge of how to draw "natural". Keep it up! >From a wannabe animator
