Just a couple of days out from the Toronto screening of "Persistence of Vision" -- I've been so looking forward to seeing it since it was first announced! I got a serious case of nostalgia watching the trailer: hearing my former coworkers' comments, seeing the old studio and watching some of the very scenes I worked on so many years ago. It got me inspired to go through some of the dusty old archives in the basement. I found a few gems down there -- a stack of cartoons we used to pass around hidden inside our layout folders and giant exposure-sheet cards signed by the whole studio, including Dick Williams himself!
This is the back cover of a huge birthday card filled with cartoons from the crew. Dick Williams even drew his famous thief character with my name in it! |
