This Saturday March 24th come to my "How to Successfully Pitch an Animated Cartoon" Master Class at Charles Schulz Museum!

Due to popular demand (hurray!) the Schulz Museum has made my "How to Successfully Pitch an Animated Cartoon" Master Class this weekend larger (now up to 20 students instead of 12), so now there are around 8 seats new seats available, please let anyone know who might be interested, all money goes to the museum! Here is the info from their site: http://www.schulzmuseum.org/ SATURDAY, MARCH 24 ● 10am–12noon Join Mike Gray (Nicktoon's Thom Cat) for a detailed walk through the step-by-step process of creating, pitching, selling, and
producing an animated short. Focus on developing a character from comic book to storyboard pitch to successfully produced animated short.$35 for members; $40 for non-members. Advance reservations required: (707) 284-1263.

I will also be a Guest Cartoonist that same day from 1pm to 3pm showing cartoons, comics, and doing sketches for Museum guests! I hope to see you there at either the class, the Guest Appearance, or both!

"Thom Cat" Licensed!

I just wanted to share the good news that "Thom Cat" has been officially licensed to appear in his own series of E-cards for Birthday Alarm (www.birthdayalarm.com)! For the e-cards I have been lucky enough to assemble much of the original talent from the first short, including Jim Meskimen as the voice of Thom, Andy Paley as composer , and David Eppen for background painting! The cards should be finished in a month to two months, and I will include links to them as soon as they are live!
