His name is Dana Reemes and he is the cat's pajamas! I used to stay late at the studio every night and work on my own animation projects. You know me, I'm always trying to better myself. I figured I wasn't going to be at Disney forever and wanted to take full advantage of my time there. Dana worked nights as well and we became friends. Dana met Robert Crumb in 1967 in the flea bag Miramonte Hotel on Mission Street where Robert was staying at the time. Dana brought his sketchbook and Robert kindly went over it with him! Not only that, Crumb gave some sage advice as well as a Crowquill Penpoint! Believe it or not Dana still has it!]]> http://manvsart.com/man-vs-art-episode-24-candid-interview-with-disney-filmation-animation-artist-dana-reemes-part-1/feed/ 6 2D,animation,animator,art,artist,artistic,black,Blood,book,cartoonist,cartoons,clean up comic Today I am going to introduce to you a very special friend of mine from way back in my Disney days.

Why would you need one? We artists dream of being represented by an agent who will market our work, set up pitch meetings, score us an in-house or freelance gig, and do all that boring non-art stuff like marketing, negotiating, and selling. Well if you have a great idea for an animated TV show, Movie, or book and want to pitch it to the major studios and networks, you'll have a tough time getting a meeting without an agent. The stark truth is that it's extremely tough to find a good agent. For artists it's best if you're already known enough in your field to have agents seeking you instead of you going to them. Sadly this rarely occurs. Very few artists get this privilege. The rest of us must submit material to many agents and agencies and choke down the pile of rejection slips before eventually hooking up with an agent willing to take a chance on us.]]> http://manvsart.com/man-vs-art-episode-19-cartoons-agents-comics-pitching-demo-and-other-such-nonsense-with-ghettomation-net-guys-jim-lujan-and-kevin-cross/feed/ 0 2D traditional animation,animator,artist representation,artist reps,artistic fulfillment,cartooning,cartoonist,comic book,comics,creator,demo,DRAWING Artist reps AKA Agents.
