Mr. Sporn

 

In 1989 an animation company based in NYC adapted

"The Story of the Dancing Frog"

by Quentin Blake

 

Directed by Michael Sporn

of

Michael Sporn Studio

 

The talent that was working for Michael's studio was amazing.

I always felt privileged to have met and work side by side with so many talented artist.

 I still have friends in the field, its no longer the same now most work is done from home. The days of the studio seems to be a thing of the past.

(sad)

One year ago today I received a phone call Michael past away this morning.

His long fight with cancer was over.

I lost someone very special that day , you are missed Mr. Sporn.

   

 

   

Tomie dePaola Award

 

The things on the table were telling BLIN, "The journey must start soon!"

Happily, BLIN would not be alone.

Friends of all sorts are always welcome.

But, where would it start?

Where would it end?     

 

This was the second assignment of this years

 Tomie dePaola Award

 

The email said I did not win the award but I should feel very accomplished over 300 entries and I was one out of fifteen that was chosen to move to the second round.

I am proud of my accomplishments and I am okay with not winning.

as Tomie says "Onward and Upward!!"
