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.
I was going to mock you for not making a blog entry on your “weak attempt at a web log” for 3 months, but then I read this and I was floored! you should spray some sort of protectant on your whiteboard right away to seal it! then frame it! that is SO cool, and doubly cool that you got photos of him doing the drawing…
I didn’t realise Art drew that, I thought you did! I agree with Alison, you need to seal that in, and get yourself a new whiteboard for drawing on!
is it just me of does the panther look a bit like Art? Maybe its in the eyes…
