Lyle,Lyle Crocodile 1987

HBO HQ NYC 2010




In my last post I wrote about doing a search on my self and one of the links I found was the IMDb (International Movie Data Base) it listed animated movie project that I worked on. It is not a full list some of the projects I worked on are not there. Back in July of 2009 I wrote about how I was hired to work on "Santa Bear High Flying Adventures" (only found in VHS format) I think I also mentioned about another project going on at the same time (I may have a film credit in this one) called, "Lyle, Lyle Crocodile: The Musical: The House on East 88th street" (only found in VHS format)



Well the other day as I past by one of my favorite book stores called Books Of Wonder I saw in the display window Lyle, Lyle the Crocodile it of course brought back some found memories for me one was of the cast party for Lyle, Lyle the Crocodile hosted by HBO this is also were I meet Bernard Waber who is the author & illustrator of the Lyle series (he signed my copy of East 88th Street that was given out to us).
You don't always appreciate what you have till it is gone. That moment I was on top of the world,
Me @ HBO party meeting Lyle 1987 I am in HBO hanging out with Bernard Waber at a party eating food, drinking.... having a few laughs. I worked with and meet some wonderful people during that time in my life and I am thankful for those memories I wish I had the capability to express it better than I am doing right now.

Did you ever notice?

Did you ever notice?

This is the title from "Brain Cells & Bubble Wrap" my Editor and the President of 4RV Publishing newest blog post.

The post is in part about doing searches on your self and what you will find. When she did a search on her self (Vivian Zabel) not only did 4RV Publishing and all the wonderful books came up but also some one with the same name who is or went to prison not sure which one.

I used "Yahoo" search and came up with something over 2,000 then I tried "Bing" and came up with 1,460 Bing seems to have eliminated some of the nonsense it is much more exact search , and "Google" shows about 4,550 some are duplicates so I'm guessing may be closer to the 2,000ish range.
I mentioned on Vivian's blog that one I enjoyed finding my name on IMDb
(The International Movie Data Base) it has many of the animated films I worked on listed there. But some others I did not mention on her site are "Wikipedia" also "Amazon", and of course just simple acknowledgement from Vivian when I won an award as a
Featured Illustrator that was very cool!
So what can you find?
