Okay young folk, first the good news, it ain’t over

once you hit old guydom. So stop worrying about it. I

wrote this verse turning 70, figuring out Photoshop

to illustrate. I retrieved these stories staying true to

my child mind as much as possible. The idea was to

self publish children’s books. My interest

I soon discovered was far behind the unholy effort

required to make it happen.Hence this website.

Now, the quick bio. It started way back

in the early 70’s in the UK where I learned my trade,

animation design and storyboarding I’d travelled

there from Ottawa, Canada, after co-producing

a successful kid’s TV show, Smart Alec. My first

animation job soon led to ‘boarding and designing

music video segments for the animated

Jackson Five TV series. I think Michael was, what,

ten at the time? The animation scene in London

was awesome in those days, full of eccentrics and

fierce individualists with small independent studios.

In five years I’d had the privilege of knowing and

working with most. My last two with Oscar winning

Richard Williams Studio. This was some time before

his famous animation direction of Roger Rabbit.

It was a privilege to work and learn from many of

the the greats of that era. More animation designing

and ‘boarding ad work in Toronto, Sydney and

New York, where I got into comic cartooning for

mags such as National Lampoon and the birth of

RAW graphix magazine which kicked off the new

era of graphic novels. Eventually I’d moved back

to The Cold White North to raise a family and for

the next 20 years or so toil in the fields of TV

cartoons. In the last years mostly associated with

the TV phenom Arthur to whom we all were grateful

grateful for its deserved longevity. And that’s all

Folks! If you made it this far, thank you!
