Storyboarding for TV series for the last lots of years has been keeping 

 

me busy. It started way back in the late 70‘s in the UK where I learned 

 

my trade. I traveled there from Ottawa, Canada where I was co-

 

producing a successful kid’s show called, ‘Smart Alec’. My first 

 

animation job soon led to ‘boarding and designing music videos for 

 

The Jackson Five show! That was fun. 

 

 

By the time I returned home I’d spent two years at the Oscar winning

 

Richard Williams Studio. This was some time before his famous 

 

directing of animation for Roger Rabbit. It was a privilege to work and 

 

learn from the greats of that era.

 

 

 

More animation designing and ‘boarding in Toronto, Sydney and New 

 

York, where I also got into comic cartooning for magazines such as 

 

National Lampoon and for the birth of RAW magazine, the mag which 

 

kicked off the new era of graphic novels. Eventually I’d moved back to 

 

the cold white north to raise a family. For the next 20 years or so I 

 

toiled in the fields of TV cartoons.

 

Now I work part time in the business, mostly on Arthur, to whom we 

 

are grateful for his, deserved, longevity. Meanwhile, I work on my own 

 

projects.
