Booth C-7
I started out as a Systems Analyst for McDonnell Douglas, Data General, and various other computer repair firms. Filmation Studios was my first animation job. To Filmation’s credit, when they hired me as a Storyboard Artist, I became the FIRST Black Saturday Morning Storyboard Artist hired for that position in Hollywood, California. I subsequently worked at almost all the L.A. animation studios over the next three decades. With time and experience, I wrote an episode of GI JOE (“Hearts and Cannons”) and an episode of SPIDERMAN AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS (“SWARM”), various independent screenplays and plot outlines for THE REAL ADVENTURES OF JONNY QUEST and the PRYDE OF THE X-MEN.
LarryToons Family Entertainment is my production company for the creation, development, and marketing of my ideas into the marketplace.
