O Bio Mio

What I love most about living in Los Angeles are the quirky pockets of curiosities around the city,
like the original site of the L.A. Zoo where once can picnic in long abandoned lion dens.
Other favorite haunts are the gooey swamps in the West side & a secret rusty door on a certain museum's roof top.

For a time, I freelanced on a number of animated features & even did some work on
animated sequences in live-action films including "Jurassic Park" & "Son of Pink Panther".

Later, I worked 8 years for Walt Disney Features as an assistant animator.
My Disney screen credits are: "Pocahontas","Emperor's New Groove", "Hercules", "Mulan",
"Hunchback of Notre Dame", "Treasure Planet", "Tarzan", "Fantasia 2000", & "Home On The Range".

Since 1999, I've illustrated over 20 books for children.
Clients include Scholastic, Houghton Mifflin , Harper Collins, Candlewick Press & Henry Holt.

Drawing & painting are my favorite things to do in the whole world.
Here are some of my other favorite things --

Favorite Thing Without A Back Bone ~ Cuttlefish.
Favorite Book Store ~ Upstart Crow in San Diego.
Favorite Book ~ "Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas.
Least Favorite Thing: I don't like lima beans.
