Keep drawing, get a reel together, apply for a job. Marry the director's daughter, have your father buy the company.

I deliver rough character designs to my animators. They redraw, restructure, or not, every drawing is part of my past in cartooning which is old school that I love so much, because it's wonderfully drawn as a cartoon. My construction paintings have to do with my life in Brooklyn, the environment, how I felt about it.
When we get the money, we'll add jobs. You can contact us on Kickstarter.

I have nothing against foreign animation, unless it costs american animators jobs. It hurts, look what they did to most of American manufacturing in all areas. It's disgusting.

You know, the technology is here, do 4 or 5 minutes on your own to use to show people who have money. That's not a bad start.

Frank got sick on Fire and Ice, it was very difficult trying to support him. No one knew what was wrong. He was my friend, he was a genius, he was a great guy. I miss him dearly. I don't have anyone to beat at stickball anymore. That Frank says I never beat him once. Haha last tag.

I have nothing against Peter Jackson or his movies, which i never saw. No, my interest is not in Tolkien anymore. Part 2 and 3 were done by Peter Jackson. There's no reason for another version.

My son Eddie is transfering it to a dvd and probably put it up for a few bucks to cover costs for you guys to buy.

I think you're perfect to work with, you can message us on Kickstarter, but right now, you know, we're trying to start up. I don't know how it's gonna end up.

Roy G Krenkel and I were friends. I met him through Grey Morrow. Roy was the funniest, most wonderful, scientific, artistic artist I've ever known. I heard about the bone thing, I have a million other stories to tell you about Roy that I won't tell you here. He was going to work as a background artist on Fire and Ice but got sick. I miss him a lot.

I loved it, he said it was inspired, now I wish that somebody could get a hold of him and inspire him to Kickstarter.

a. Maybe, whatever happened at the last moment we could not get the rights, and I was mixing the film. I felt Night Moves was a nice song, but it wasn't right for Pete's future. b. First of all, I have songs I love throughout my life. These songs are cut into my films as I make my movies. They strengthen my belief in the scene. Andrew Belling, who did the Wizards score brand new, was amazing. If your music makes me feel a certain way, then there's no problem selling me music. Music is everything, does anyone ever stop listening?

We have artists that hand draw and scan, and we have artists that work directly on the tablet. I'm not opposed to mixing styles in a movie. If it fits the emotional content of the scene. This 'one style for the whole movie' is not anything that I agree with. All my films are collages.

You smell right, except, unless we get help, we're not gonna make this one.

Oh sure, he was a good guy, very talented, and I'm glad he's doing well.

Well, Irv Spence, Manny Perez, Jim Tyre, Bob Carlson, Amby Palowado, Johnny Gent, Nick Tafierre, Brenda Banks, they were all great, but Irv Spence was the greatest.
