THE BIOPEDiA
ASIFA-Hollywood has been recognizing the important figures in the history of animation for over three decades with the Annie Awards. We continue that tradition with our online biographical wiki, the Biopedia. Thanks to the hard work of the students in Charlie Lawing and Larry Loc's animation classes, the Biopedia is beginning to take shape. Here are just a few of the interesting entries in our Biopedia...

James Stuart Blackton (See also... Animation Centennial 1906-2006) / Carlo Vinci / Art Babbitt (See also... Pencil Test of Art's Best Scene) / Shamus Culhane / John Kricfalusi / Ralph Bakshi (See also... Bakshi Phone Doodles) / Oskar Fischinger / Ollie Johnston / Osamu Tezuka

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for people who can help us research and enter information on the artists in the online Biopedia. This is a good way to volunteer if you aren't in the Los Angeles area, and you'll find out a lot of amazing info on great artists at the same time. If you're interested in helping out, drop me a line at... sworth@animationarchive.org
