IT'S 1992 ALL OVER AGAIN!

After some NYC animation friends

posted a couple old school

Jumbo Pictures

pics on Facebook

I felt the need to dig out a couple

of my own.

Back in 1992

there weren't no 

blogs

or

facebooks

or

tumblrs.

We just had these:

I didn't draw in it much.

It served as more of a diary

of my early animation career.

Most of it's boring

production stuffs:

Occasionally a xeroxed cartoon

would find it's way in.

This one was of 

JJSP

Production Queen

Irene Cerdas:

Bryon Moore 

(one of my earliest mentors)

and I

spent way too much time

drawing

Carol Channing

attempting to murder us:

Here's an entry regarding the

Cluckin' Chicken

short we did for

Saturday Night Live.

After we were done animating on

an INSANE deadline

we were told we needed to change

Clucky's eyes so that they were 

GOOGLY

instead of looking at camera.

Which would have been fine

except for the fact that it

was already painted on cel

AND

we had to still have the project done

so it could air on Saturday:

And yeah...

we got it done

in time!

Too bad it got bumped from that week's 

show at the last minute.

Grrrrrrrrrr...

The next two were from

a Burger King commercial that

Sue Rose

designed called

"Wallet"

and some

Fido Dido

stuffs:

Sometimes there was nothing

but laundry

and 

passport photos:

Nice hair, dude.

But here's the real reason I

was digging through the book:

THE PHOTOS

TAPED IN THE BACK!

This group shot of the

ASIFA-EAST EXECUTIVE BOARD

really brought me back.

Here I am hanging out

 in the luxurious Jumbo Pictures bathroom

during a party with NYC animation royalty, from left to right,

Dave Concepcion, Simon Deitch, Bryon Moore,

Drinky McBeerstein and Miguel Martinez-Joffre

Master decorator

Jonathan Royce 

found the best use for 

some ugly curtains:

Not sure who that is with me

defacing the walls:

The mighty Buzzco Associates

triumverate

Marilyn Kraemer, Vincent Cafarelli and Candy Kugel:

Working

with

Sue Rose

at the lofty

West Village

office 

of

Fido Dido:

Me on my 24th birthday at

J.J. Sedelmaier Productions:

This was taken shortly after JJSP

added studio space on another floor:

Me and the honorable

Ben Price working on

Cluckin' Chicken:

I'm so glad I

kept these

journals,

if only to prove

that I've only 

become

MORE

handsome

as the years go by.

I hope you're keeping your own.

Seriously.
