EXTENDED! LAST CHANCE to take advantage of Members Appreciation bonuses! Ends Friday!

Members Appreciation Month

We decided to extend our Members Appreciation bonuses to be able to offer it to attendees at WonderCon. However, we realized that the poor cellular service made it impossible for people to join at the convention itself. Many people at the convention said they planned to join when they returned home afterwards, so we have decided to extend the special membership benefits to Friday to give them a chance to join, log in and download the treasures.

This means that if you aren’t yet a member of Animation Resources, you have a second chance too. Read over the list of benefits below and I think you’ll want to join right away. This puts our Reference Pack releases out of sync by a month, so we are going to make the next one cover April and May. This will take some of the pressure off us in the our busy time in the Spring and will make it so we don’t have to introduce a new Reference Pack right in the middle of the holiday season.

The next Reference Pack will debut on Saturday. You won’t want to miss it. This time there is over 50 minutes of animation, including several rare Terry-Toons, some brilliant silhouette animation by Lotte Reiniger, and an industrial film from the early 40s designed by Ed Benedict. The e-book this time is the second volume in our Esquire cartoons series.

JOIN TODAY and enjoy the embarrassment of riches that Animation Resources members get to download every other month!

Members Appreciation Month

This is the best time to join Animation Resources. We are throwing in a bunch of special bonuses this month to make the decision easy for you…

  • Every other month, you will receive a brand new Reference Pack which consists of a high resolution downloadable e-book packed with fantastic artwork and a half hour of rare animated films from our collection!
  • In 2018 we are beginning a Rerun feature in our Reference Packs. In each one, we will include either an e-book or video download that has been shared with our members in the past. This means that every year, you will be receiving 9 ebooks instead of just 6, and 4 1/2 hours of rare animation, not just 3!
  • During Members Appreciation Month, our Reference Pack includes a special Members Appreciation Month bonus- the entire Zim Course in Cartooning and Caricature. The Zim course doesn’t just teach you to draw, it teaches you to THINK like an artist. Spanning five E-Books and over 800 pages, it’s the one of the most comprehensive cartooning courses ever published. And you get the whole thing for FREE if you join this month.
  • Every year, Animation Resources provides more benefits for its members, and every couple of years we raise our dues a little to allow us to continue to expand our offerings. But if you join today, we promise that your dues will never increase as long as you maintain your membership.
  • Animation Resources members receive special Video Podcasts throughout the year, and attendance at our screenings and seminars in the Los Angeles area is free to our members.

With the reruns in the Reference Packs and the Zim Course, that means that if you join now, you will receive THIRTEEN E-BOOKS and over FIVE HOURS OF RARE ANIMATION… and it’s only $85 a year for General Membership or $60 a year for full time students and educators. That is a drop dead bargain. But the best part is that you’ll be supporting a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is by artists and for artists. If you are a creative person, you should be a member of Animation Resources. You owe it to your muse.

PDF E-BOOK:
Zim Course Volume Four

Eugene "Zim" Zimmerman
Download Page
Zim’s Correspondence School of Cartooning, Comic Art & Caricature Volume 4: Books 16 to 20 (1914/1920)

Eugene Zimmerman, better known simply as "Zim" was one of cartooning’s most important figures, but he is rarely mentioned in current histories of the medium. This is unfortunate, because Zim wasn’t just a great caricaturist and cartoonist, he was a great educator as well.

The "Zim Correspondence School of Comic Art and Caricature" packs a lifetime of experience into twenty small booklets. There are no chapters or formal lessons, just common-sense advice and lots and lots of brilliant drawings. Zim teaches his students the same way he learned his trade, one step at a time. Each page is a self-contained bit of sagely advice, intended to be studied a page or two a day. As readers work their way though the course over the span of a year, the information accumulates, gradually transforming them from a talented amateur to a seasoned professional artist. No one was more qualified to teach students how to think like an artist than Eugene Zimmerman.

Zim first published his cartooning course in 1914 and revised it in 1920. We have compiled all of the information from both editions into four e-books for our membership. Along with the course, we have included full page color cartoons by Zim from the pages of Judge magazine. We are proud to have been able to bring the entire Zim Cartooning Course to you as downloadable high resolution e-books. This PDF e-book is optimized for display on the iPad or printing two up with a cover on 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper.
