I also wrote for 20th Century Fox, MGM-Pathe', The Showtime Cable TV Network and Paramount Pictures. New York city had slightly more to offer.Īfter I graduated, I worked as a staff writer on several NBC prime-time, comedy-variety television shows. The social scene at Valencia consisted of a sandwich shop, where you could buy a magazine, if you got there early enough. So I left and enrolled in, and graduating from, New York University. I was more interested in character design, and story, rather than drawing twelve poses to create one second of movement. At Cal-Arts, we had to do a lot of intense animation, which I found tedious. I graduated from High School, and attended the character animation program at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California. Cartooning was a magical experience to me. I used to drive 136 miles, each way, on the weekends, when I was 16, just for the opportunity to get paid to draw. I started drawing character designs for a small animation studio in San Diego, California, when I was still in High School in Los Angeles.
