Independent ANIMATION... IT'S ALIVE!!!

I had a great time participating in Jim Lujan's latest Cartoon festival "WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' BADGES" at GEEKS comics in Whittier! It was really well done, from the great diverse selection of animated shorts to the superb job of hosting that Animator/Podcaster Raul Aguirre Jr. did. And the Press was there also, taking interviews, and adding to the excitement of the evening, along with a really great crowd of fans and supporters. It was a fun, inspirational and overall very satisfying evening for all in attendance I think, and I'm very appreciative to have been a part of it. I've also got to mention Animator Ken Mora, who was also very instrumental in putting the show together as well as the NUVEIN foundation. Ken, Raul, Jim and NUVEIN, thank you for giving us animators such a great venue to showcase our independent cartoons in!
