The May/June Reference Pack has been delayed. It should be available this weekend. We prepared an e-book for it only to discover that it is slated to be republished in hardback soon. We strive to always present material that isn’t available elsewhere, so we shelved that book and prepared another one. That is why we are a little late this time. Thanks for your patience!

I’m going to tell all of you who follow this website something about yourself that you didn’t know… At WonderCon, I watched tens of thousands of fans walk by the Animation Resources table. I had a Gertie the Dinosaur by McCay on the table, along with sketches by Milt Kahl, Preston Blair and Art Babbitt.
I watched as 99% of the people just walked on by, glancing at the drawings and saying to themselves… “Oh look, it’s Pinocchio.” “Is that the Queen from Snow White?” Then one in a hundred would walk by and do a double take. “HOLY CRAP! AN ORIGINAL WINSOR MC CAY DRAWING!” “THAT DRAWING IS SIGNED BY MILT KAHL!” I would smile to myself and rejoice. There aren’t a lot of us out there, but we still exist. Those of you who follow this website are the continuity of what these great artists started for the art of animation. Everyone else is just a fan of specific characters and films. All of us at Animation Resources are here for the people who love the art form.

At our last Board of Directors meeting, we had our annual election of officers. Up to now we haven’t chosen a Vice President, but this year we unanimously decided that our Liaison to the Advisory Board, Michael Woodside is the perfect person for the job. Thank you, Michael! Congratulations!
You might remember Michael from the Animation Archive podcasts. Since he started out with us as a volunteer fresh out of animation school, he has built a fantastic career as an animator and educator. We are very proud to have him serve as the Vice President of our organization. (We might even be able to convince him to do some podcasting again!)
I’ve been serving on non-profit boards for over thirty years, and I’ve never worked with a better group of people the one I work with now. CLICK to read about all of the officers and board members of our organization.
Stephen Worth
President, Animation Resources
