Hola Minions! I’m happy to announce that this episode marks the one year anniversary of The Man vs. Art Blog and Podcast! So I decided to do something special for you guys and put together a Giant Sized Podcast! It’s a two hour Man vs. Art extravaganza made up of purely new stuff! I was able to collect together a whole bunch of short visits with my past guests, friends of the show, and the 3 Prime Minions!
Minions! Last time I showed you how I draw a pretty pin up girl.This time I’m going the opposite direction and showing you how I draw a big ugly Incredible Hulk! I came a cross this old Disney Studios Employee Handbook from 1938! It’s a brief outline of the Studio’s principal departments and an explanation to artists of its employment policies! The drawings are all from production drawings!
My time at Rowland Animation School taught me the most valuable lessons of my life! It really has helped me along in my career as a professional animator and cartoonist! Although it was tough work I had a blast and got to make some very dear friends in the process!
Today I am going to introduce to you a very special friend of mine from way back in my Disney days. 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!
