THE GREAT UNFINISHED SKETCHBOOK


Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Hate me because I can't finish 
my lastest sketchbook.
And it ain't gonna wind up anytime soon--
It's not even half full!

Speaking of half full,
here's one of the few sketchbooks
that I never finished.


This book ran from 
July 28, 1996
to
sometime in 1998.
It most likely got abandoned 
because I got busy making the 
Kids Next Door pilot.

But I liked where it was going:







Within this tome I found
the certificate for
 the first film
I made that got into a festival!


When I got to Ottawa,
I was distraught at the lack
of my two favorite vices at the time:






Here are some early doodles for who would later become
Professor Triple Extra Large:









Here's a very early sketch of
the KND.

YUCK!
I thought I had figured 
out their proportions by this time!


When I came out to LA to make my pilots,
Cartoon Network put me up at the
infamous Oakwood Apartments:



And look...
Here's the old
warburtonlabs
fax cover sheet:


And a set-list for one of my favorite 
roque and roll bands,


And here's a creepy birthday picture of me at
J.J. Sedelmaier Productions
where I was so generously gifted with a
 rare Grouch Marx book, mask and cigar.


And this still makes me giggle:


I feel bad for my latest sketchbook.
I rarely doodle in it because I'm so busy with some
other sooper secret projects.

Hope I can tell you about them soon!

But enough about me--
why aren't you drawing in
YOUR
sketchbook?!

SO YOU WANNA WORK AT DISNEY TVA?




 It's at least once an hour that 
someone asks me how they can apply for a 
job or internship at 
Disney TV Animation.

But I've never had a real answer
because there was never an official 
person or place to send them to.

UNTIL NOW!

Please welcome the 
OFFICIAL
DISNEY TVA CAREERS PAGE!

It's got a handy list of all the different types of jobs
that happen around our sooper creative happy home.
And if you think you've got what it takes to
roll deep with some of the most talented 
people in the business
(and me!)
then by all means go for it!

And if you 
DO
get a job,
make sure to stop by my office 
to drop off a bag of chocolate covered pretzels
as thanks for tipping you off to the site.

OKAY, CAN WE JUST BAG LUNCH?


Kids like these 
need fun drawings 
on their lunch bags
or their faces will stay like this
FOREVER!


So yeah,
I draw on their lunch bags:



















But sometimes you gotta say,
"Draw on yo own dang lunch!"





Hopefully your kids' faces are normal
and you don't have to draw on their lunch bags.
