DELUXO: MAD MONSTER PARTY doc
WB Animator and friend Dan Riba's DRACULA Halloween costume!
We did this Documentary, Hosted by Billy West (REN & STIMPY, M & M's), for the DELUXO VHS release of MAD MONSTER PARTY. I remember that the camera man had worked for OPRAH (not alot of kind words). My pal Dave Whitting was behind the Production and I thought it turned out well.Thursday, May 26, 2011

The day my first book came out....ARTHUR RANKIN, JR. and DON DUGA gave a talk at the SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS in New York and did a book signing (I have this on video).....while I was at the NEWBERRY LIBRARY in downtown Chicago, doing the same :)
