You were always the "xerox king" - you seem to have access to more animation art stuff than almost anyone I know. I still have my Thumbilina and Bozetto artwork. Thanks guy. Have you heard from Pod? All the Best, Larry Garrett,

I was telling a co-worker recently and she damn near choked on her coffee! Isn't it amazing how quickly the industry has change over the last ten years? I was animating and doing layouts and watching those jobs dry up in the move to 3D and flash all while the Asian studios became more and more capable of taking on high-end stuff. Now I'm an "old guy" in a studio full of package kids who don't even know how to sharpen a pencil. It's been a crazy ride though and I've loved every minute of it. Thanks for taking a change on a crazy long-hair from Limerick, way back in the day! Do you know,I remember that story very well from my Ballyfermot days.

No plans yet to come over the Pond - but that could change at any time. Let me know if you come this way... Best, Thanks Christoph,

I've been fond of animation for as long as I can think. The first animated features that really got me interested in the matter were "An American Tail", "The Great Mouse Detective" and the Astérix movies. (I've always loved the comic books. Pity that ever since their ingenious original writer died they haven't been the same.) The first "real" animator I talked to was an English lady giving visitiors of the Museum of the Moving Image in London an introduction to animation. She used to work for Cosgrove Hall and we spent most of the afternoon talking about "Danger Mouse" and "Count Duckula". Good times! Excellent story.
