ABOUT THE GUESTS
Nick Cross is a self taught animator/independent filmmaker who also works commercially. His professional credits range from music videos to television. While working a full schedule, Nick is able to animate short films entirely on his own to a standard higher than most. Some of his films include "The Waif of Persephone" and, most recently, "Yellow Cake." He is currently working on a new film entitled "Pig Farmer." You can view some of Nick's work on his blog, http://pyatyletka.blogspot.com/.
ABOUT THE HOSTS
Danny Young: A very sympathetic person once told me, "You have the perfect body for podcasting." And while I don't like to boast, the seat of my chair has almost completely taken on the shape of me. I'm always cruising the internets for savvy cartoon info and I'm ecstatic to be here co-hosting the fruits of my labor with you, and sharing in the wealth of animation knowledge there is to find. I sincerely hope that we all can become better artists because of it.

Michael Woodside: I'm a relatively new Californian, having recently moved from Central Florida. After volunteering at the ASIFA-Hollywood Archive, I realized pretty quickly that I basically knew a fraction of what was to be known about the world of animation. This podcast is a means for me to uncover these topics and to share them with people like you. So stick around, because we are gonna un-dumb ourselves at an alarming rate!

ABOUT THE GUESTS
Marlo Meekins is an award winning caricaturist whose masterful painting techniques boast a sophisticated color palette. Viewers are initially drawn in by the comforting beauty of warm tones, slender figures, soft and furry rendering, and caricatured tongue-in-cheekness, then they're challenged by their circumstances, and finally transported to the artist's final intent- an unknown planet where beings articulate from a suppressed space of frankness about the internal state of emotion- our relationships with ourselves and each other. You can view some of Marlo's work on her blog, www.marlomeekins.blogspot.com, and she can be contacted at marlomeekins@gmail.com.
Skip Heller is a multi-talented composer, arranger and musician who has worked in a diversity of styles, from punk rock to orchestral music to jazz to old time country. He is a wellspring of information on the history of music and the people who play it, and shares his encyclopedic knowledge daily on his blog at SkipHeller.com.

ABOUT THE GUESTS
Eddie Fitzgerald is a renaissance man among cartoonists. He is an animation director, story artist, philosopher, historian and all around great guy. On his blog, Uncle Eddie's Theory Corner, he has discussed everything from poetry, ballet, philosophy and music to Mad magazine, the unique shapes of ears, vintage men's magazines, Italian insult gestures and how to make the perfect hamburger. Eddie is most famous for his "Fum-Eddies", comic strips made from photos he creates on the iSight camera of his Macintosh. In his Fum-Eddies, he has travelled around the world, back in time to the old West, through the magic of dreams to Neverland and even via rocket into the deepest reaches of outer space! If you haven't bookmarked his blog yet, do so. You'll be glad you did.
