Becoming a Cartoonist

At the time, there weren't many programs nationally to study animation and those interested in the field primarily studied illustration. I learned skills through the more accessible art form of comics, of which there was one class available at SCAD. (Now there's an entire major.)

I wrote and drew a weekly comic strip all four years for a local Savannah newspaper. I joined the student comics club, and attended lectures and critiques by visiting cartoonists. I learned much at art school but studied cartooning independently.
