PEPPER ANN CHARACTER DESIGN

You

wanna get

a lil 

old school,

with me?

Like 

PEPPER ANN

kinda

old school?

Sure ya do!

So let's go!

First,

for those not up on

ancient

Mr. Warburton

trivia,

I was the lead character designer on

Disney's Pepper Ann.

And it was

FUN!

The show was produced in 

Los Angeles,

but I was in

New York City.

So they'd send me a script,

and a design list like this:

And then I'd get drawin'!

This episode,

THE MERRY LIVES OF PEPPER ANN

was based at a 

Renaissance Fair

so it was a HEAVY show.

Lots of characters in costume.

Here's  a samplin'

of what i done
circa 1998:

After I was done,

I'd fax my drawings to

LA.

Back then,

fax machines used those 

curly rolls of crappy fax paper.

There's be lines and shmutz all over the faxes

and the poor production assistants had

to use white out to clean them up.

Funny coincidence?

One of those production assistants was

Darren Clark,

who is now

our star 

technical director 

on

Fish Hooks!

Good times!
