More Bio: HUGO WHERE? Part Four (For Paid Subscribers Only!)

So all the kings, wizards and scullery maids culminated in this orange furred cat jester and his schizophrenic existence. Privileged status and an object of ridicule. Closest companion of the king and sleeping in the attic in an empty soap box. Not self assured, a little cranky and endowed with an e...

HUGO WHERE? Part Three (For Paid Subscribers Only!)

I didn't get any outright understanding. The answer from everyone was simply “Leave!” On what?So when a friend offered me to join him as a roommate in his apartment in Astoria, Queens, I jumped at it, as unready and unsteady as I was.There was a hell of a lot of cross cutting during this tum...

HUGO WHERE? Part Two! (For Paid Subscribers Only!)

More Bio; before FELIX:BACK AT ITI was still at the Sherman Oaks apartment, freelancing. I got a call from an editor at Archie Comics about a SONIC THE HEDGEHOG comic. I hadn't heard of the character. I had kind of an antagonism towards video games. I saw them as wastes of the brain. I still do....

MORE BIO! (For Members Only!)

TWISTED TALETo do work “for the exposure” is a commonplace joke, but in a singular case in my life, it worked to my advantage.I had been recruited to do illustration headers for “The Inbetweener”, the newsletter for the animation group of ASIFA-Hollywood. They were appearing when the club ha...

MORE BIO: THE PREMIERE of COOL WORLD! (For Paid Members Only!)

THE PREMIERESorry...I haven't seen the movie since that one time, so my memories get vague.The audience was abuzz, primed for frank, raunchy entertainment; boisterous screams and revelry through the stark white-on-black titles.We sat through the live action establishment. It's okay...the fun...

MORE BIO, MORE BAKSHI! (For Paid Members Only!)

COOL WORLD was a combination of live actors and cartoon characters, and the combination was worked out with the method used way back in the OUT OF THE INKWELL times; the live action was shot first; then single frames were blown up to animation paper size, then the animated character drawings played ...

Well, Friends...I didn't know I'd been away so long over the agony of defeat with my Kickstarter failure. The film will be finished, but not so gloriously.I've taken a detour for awhile, and have kept busy. Here are three paintings I've done recently, as well as items from a band tha...
