Oh man, what a cool idea! I wish I was a professional, I’d totally draw Ray. Perhaps I will anyway and just send him a birthday card. Very much looking forward to this book, and fingers crossed that Ray Bradbury week gets approved.
oh awesome i love bradbury
oh this contest is for professionals
thats upsetting. i was looking forward to doing this :(
So is this only going to be taking submissions from “animators”? What about other professional cartoonists, illustrators, and artists?
I am a professional artist, I have worked with Ray for 5 years and am director of the Ray Bradbury Theatre and Film Foundation and Festival in Ventura California. I have written a play about Ray which will be staged in Ojai in January. As we speak I am making Ray a 18′X18″ ceramic plaque which is a cartoon of Ray in space I will be presenting it to him just before his birthday, would you like to include that in your book?
