MY OWN LITTLE WORLD
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 1957..
Smug about my model car
collection.  I still love 1950s cars
and feature several in
The Little
Skyscraper.
Suburban Louisville, Kentucky,
circa 1961..  
I took accordion lessons
for about six years. Decades later, I
took piano lessons.
I was a feature writer and cartoonist on the school paper and edited a literary magazine imy senior year at
Louisville's Doss High School. That's me second from the right in the dark sweater.
After earning a degree in art at Murray State University, I still had
no idea where I was headed. Jobs in the art market were scarce in
Kentucky, so I loaded up the silver Toronado and I moved to
Hollywood.  
Over the years I've been an effects animator and a storyboard artist for such studios as
Amblimation, Disney and DreamWorks.  My updated list of credits are listed
here on the
Internet Movie Database Source.
In 1999 I had my first children's book published,
Isaac the Ice Cream Truck.
Here's my favorite picture of my dog,
Jackie (October 2, 1991-April 29,
2006), a standard poodle.  Those
aren't puppies, they're bedroom
slippers with an uncanny resemblance.  
Jackie makes guest appearances in all
my books.
No, that's not Mick Jagger, it's me in 1975.  Thanks to Kentucky
humidity, my hair changed style by the hour.
Here I am in 1999 at a book signing in hometown
Louisville, Kentucky, playing the song from
Isaac.
What's an ice cream truck without a song? Lots of
people have asked me how it goes, so I've finally
added an audio file on
Isaac's page.
