As most of you know I work at MGM. I love it there. A few months ago they allowed the Pink Panther team of Illustrators and storyboard artists to use our offices as temporary work space until they found their own space. This was great because I’ve always been a huge cartoon fan. Aren’t we all?

Anyway, they recently got some bad news which I won’t discuss here since it isn’t really my place to do so.

The point is, my new friend Art Leonardi was roaming the cube farm and spotted my blank dry-erase board.

It was really cool watching him whip up the panther in just a few marker strokes. I mean this is THE guy. The one that has been drawing the Panther since the BEGINNING.

I posted some pics of him at work. Notice the raw human (and feline) emotion coming through the man and his creation. So sad but so cool at the same time.

Oh, and Art, thanks a lot. Now I can never use my whiteboard ever again.
