While the rest of the world idolizes the power stars and athletes, my idols besides my family are William Hanna & Joseph Barbera. Their cartoons are the reason for my becoming and inspiration. I’ve always looked at life through the lens of an animator and its all due to their vision which they shared through bright colors, warm characters and orchestra sounds. I feel real blessed and lucky that I was raised with Tom & Jerry, The Flintstones, Scooby Doo, Magilla Gorilla, The Smurfs and The Jetsons. I’d also include Woody Woodpecker, Thundercats and The Pink Panther, but they weren’t from the Hanna-Barbera family. Nonetheless, I’m glad that I was there and was lucky nuff to be brought up in the golden age of animation. And when I do win that first Garmmy, I’m sure as hell gonn dedicate it to these legends. Bes’ believe dat!
