This experienced artist shares his experience, the importance of mentorship and the beauty he finds in creating animation Outline: You have an incredible background with some the best studios in Soho.

Could you share with Hibbert & Ralph, Passion Pictures, Pizzas Animation, but us some of these key projects over the years, across most of all for Klacto Animation founded by Oscar Grillo. illustration, direction, layout designing etc? Once I moved to Melbourne I started working for the TV series “The Silver Brumby” as Head of Layout Dept. and Roberto: I guess, probably the most important turning eventually I was the Art Director for the TV Animated point in my professional career, has been London. I moved series “Ocean Girl”. It was an important step because as there from Milano in the early 90’s. At the time I was Art Director you become responsible for the work of a working as Advertising Illustrator in Italy, a very soul-less team and not only yourself. In early 2000 I moved back to industry; very good money, but little creativity. London Milano to work on a couple of Animated Feature Films gave me an opening into a different world. I wasn’t trained (Johan Padan and the Discovery of the Americas, as animator so I used my Illustrative skills to work as Opopomoz) as Head of Background Dept, but finally settled Background Artist in Animation. -
'They Made Gullah': Modernist Primitivists and The
“ ‘They Made Gullah’: Modernist Primitivists and the Discovery and Creation of Sapelo Island, Georgia’s Gullah Community, 1915-1991” By Melissa L. Cooper A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History written under the direction of Dr. Mia Bay and approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2012 2012 Melissa L. Cooper ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “ ‘They Made Gullah’: Modernist Primitivists and the Discovery and Creation of Sapelo Island, Georgia’s Gullah Community, 1915-1991” by Melissa L. Cooper Dissertation Director: Dr. Mia Bay ABSTRACT: The history of Sapelo Islanders in published works reveals a complex cast of characters, each one working through ideas about racial distinction and inheritance; African culture and spirituality; and the legacy of slavery during the most turbulent years in America’s race-making history. Feuding social scientists, adventure seeking journalists, amateur folklorists, and other writers, initiated and shaped the perception of Sapelo Islanders’ distinct connection to Africa during the 1920s and 1930s, and labeled them “Gullah.” These researchers characterized the “Gullah,” as being uniquely connected to their African past, and as a population among whom African “survivals” were readily observable. This dissertation argues that the popular view of Sapelo Islanders’ “uniqueness” was the product of changing formulations about race and racial distinction in America. Consequently, the “discovery” of Sapelo Island’s Gullah folk was more a sign of times than an anthropological discovery. This dissertation interrogates the intellectual motives of the researchers and writers who have explored Sapelo Islanders in their works, and argues that the advent of American Modernism, the development of new social scientific theories and popular cultural works during the 1920s and 1930s, and other trends shaped their depictions. -

Working on a Large Staff Gave Me the Ability to Work Both Individually and with Other
Working on a large staff gave me the ability to work both individually and with other. This resulted in works that felt both personal and collaborative, a good mix for a yearbook. Through the year I took different approaches to my work, sometimes these approaches produced interesting and refreshing takes on visuals and other times it did not. I learned through experimentation how to move past first-level creativity and create unique and visually pleasing illustrations that fit the theme of the yearbook. The first half of the production cycle, the majority of my work was done by hand using traditional materials. Through critique and revision, most works were either reworked into a digital setting to give a cleaner and more modern look. Comments and constructive criticism given to me by the advisor, editors, and outside experts pushed me to step outside of what had been comfortable and create fresher visuals. This worked especially well for the eclipse spread, where the portraits were originally hand-drawn. By revising the aesthetic of the portraits in Illustrator, I was able to create a more cohesive piece that fit the overall feel of the spread. Throughout the year I taught myself how to better use a Wacom tablet and Adobe programs. By using my previous experience with Wacom tablets and Adobe programs, along with skills and techniques used in traditional art I quickly picked up the quirks of a professional tablet and professional level programs. Adobe PhotoShop was the program I knew the best and graphics were made using this program during the first half of production. -
