sunsets & sidewalks
The weather is lovely, the grass smells nice, and I have some sketchbook musings for you. Could life get any sweeter? Perhaps, but they haven't invented robot sharks yet.

Ollie Johnston, 1912-2008
The last of Disney's famed and beloved Nine Old Men, the incomparable Ollie Johnston, passed away today at the age of 95. Johnston was a personal hero of mine, and one of the reasons that I got into animation. He was a touching spirit, a teacher and perpetual source of inspiration. I am completely and sincerely heartbroken.
Ollie Johnston was responsible for such timeless performances as the all-too-famous and ludicrously heart-warming spaghetti-eating scene in Lady and the Tramp, The tap-dancing penguins in Mary Poppins, as well as lead animator on such classics as The Jungle Book, 101 Dalmatians, Bambi, Pinocchio, The Rescuers, The Aristocats, The Fox and the Hound, Robin Hood, The Sword in the Stone, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, Alice in Wonderland, Fantasia, and the seminal Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to name but a few.
Rest peacefully, Ollie. You have given so much to so many.

First and foremost, I completely revamped my website, WWW.POETSANDPRIMATES.COM, so check that out if you haven't already. It's still in need of a spit-shine, but for the most part it's all gravy.
I know it's taken me a while to get to a scanner, but I finally escaped the time-sucking clutches of animation long enough to scan a few sketches. Here are a couple for now, I will post some more in a few days. Enjoy (or else).
