Animation & Business

   Came across Pamela Thompson Friday (June 18, 2010), an animator who has worked on Disney's Ratatouille, Bebe's kids and the Simpsons. Great lady; genuine, self effacing and down to earth. She was in town to give the Commencement address at the Art Institute. We met beforehand at a networking opportunity and she stopped back afterwards to briefly visit my class.

   Turns out she's working on a book on getting hired ... I shared with her the primary book I'm working on: Business & the Applied Arts. Looks like we'll be contributing to each other's works. I've already e-mailed her some significant files.
