Episode Notes
I definitely am drawn to illustrators who are/were animators. To me, you can almost ALways tell when a picture book was done by an animator because of the quality of movement and characterization most of all, I think. Tony Fucile comes to mind, always, and Molly Idle. Until now I wasn't aware of your work, but am so happy I do now! How wonderful you can use your animating skills for promotion :) I'm definitely checking out your website! I just loved this interview. Thanks, guys!
