Very interesting that the film shows women doing artistic work (in-betweeners, background artists) at a time when Disney only thought them fit for painting cels. I'd thought the sexism was just industry practice reflecting social norms of the times, but here they're doing jobs that Disney wouldn't let them do for decades. Enlightening.

Historical Comic Book
Here's what I've been working on. In recognition of Decatur County Indiana's bicentennial, here are just a few images from a 42 page historical comic book written by John Pratt, Bicentennial Coordinator, with drawings by me.
Cartoon Classes
Some great photos from my cartoon class residency. Very enthusiastic and talented elementary school kids!
