gabe drew this
On June 26th, in Burbank, Asifa-Hollywood is hosting a 2-D EXPO.

I am one of the co-conspirators behind this event - and it's shaping up nicely. Basically it's a full day of panels discussing the current state of traditional (you know, hand drawn) animation. Confirmed panelists & guests include Eric Goldberg, Shane Glines, Raul Garcia, Mark Kausler, Mike Nguyen, Bert Klein, Tom Sito, Eddie Mort, Lili Chin, Jorge Gutuerrez and Gabe Swarr. Amid and I will be moderating panels.

Panels cover topics such as "2-D THE NEXT DIRECTION", "FLASH ANIMATION", "DOING IT YOURSELF", "DISTRIBUTION" and "NETWORK PROGRAMMING".

In the evening we are planning a sneak preview screening of a new 2-D feature (to be announced) and a program of recent UNSOLD PILOTS. There will be a networking area with a few exhibitors, including bookseller Stuart Ng, animators Stephen Silver and Bob Harper, The Animation Show and the Asifa booth which will take consignments, selling artists sketch books and art materials.Join us! If you'd like to help us out, be on panels, sell sketch books or volunteer your time to this event, contact me directly jbeck6540@aol.com and I'll point you in the right direction.
