Happy New Year 2015

Happy New Year! 2015

Bret Iwan - Voice of Mickey MouseWell, 2014 sure was a fun year! I got to meet some great people in animation, set things up for some great independent projects this year and witness some spectacular moments.

 

I had fun at Reel Spirit this last year teaching kids a little bit about traditional animation. While there, I also got to meet the current voice of Mickey Mouse, Bret Iwan. That was swell!

 

Then came the Kansas City Film Fest which had a great focus on animation this last year. I got to meet and hang out with the King of Indie Animation, Bill Plympton. And thanks to my friend Scott, we got a personalized tour of Thomas Hart Benton’s paintings at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Thank you Scott! Thomas Hart Benton is one of his favorite artists and he said Benton’s work has influenced his own. I hope one day he’ll be able to come back and give a talk about that at the Nelson-Atkins. Are you listening to this folks over at the Nelson-Atkins?
