The new exhibit , Peanuts...Naturally, featured a panel discussion, "Funny Folks Behind the Serious Business of Cartooning. Featured were Florida cartoonists, including Jeff Parker, Mark Simon, and Rob Smith Jr.
Allen Bellman and me. I got this photo with golden age of cartoon artists Mr. Bellman of Marvel comic fame, Captain America and Human Torch, when I got the autographed print below:
How lucky am I ?!
The panel discussion was great, we learned a lot about the business of cartooning, working in solitude to moving to digital forms of drawing. From paper to computer and beyond.
If you want to be a cartoonist their advice is, learn how to draw! Learn anatomy of a body, it's structure, is muscular structure. Do the work, don't copy the work of others as you are copying their mistakes! Good point.
It was great fun.
