SILVER DRAWING ACADEMY DE OSHIETA

If you heard rumours of 

poorly spoken 

Japanese going on in the

Southern California area...

That was totally me.

See,

I got invited to

talk to a bunch of 

Japanese students at the 

SILVER DRAWING ACADEMY 

You know

sooper famous

character designer

Stephen Silver

even if you think you don't.

He designed

Kim Possible:

Clerks: The Animated Series

And Danny Phantom:

And now he's opened up 

his own drawing school

in Los Angeles!

It's a great space

with lots of great artwork:

Stephen had over 150 animation students 

from Japan come

for a class.

He took the majority of them to discuss character design

while I talked to the rest about

career paths, writing, direction

and that kind of stuff.

While I can speak some Japanese,

I'm not fluent enough to lecture,

so I had the help of a wonderful interpreter.

Hopefully she made me sound smart!
