Something Old and Something Very Old
Above was one of the original designs for my Kid Columbo idea, guess I thought he should have a dog cause bein a Columbo he'd've been a snoopy git. And this one was a gift from the legendary Art Leonardi when I worked with him back in the last decade on Stevie Stardust. He animated on the original Pink Panther movie intros. Funny thing about the guy was he carried around a pencil case with one or two black pens, and a shedload of pink ones, to keep the rest of up entertained with Pink Panther drawings. I guess it was hanging on a wall with the sun shining on it cause it's a fair bit bleached out now.

Must have been great to work with him. And he must have had a lot of fun, I bet, being involved with the Pink Panther.

absolute legend man! he animated a real hair for the premiere to see if people would get up to complain to the projectionist, then all of a sudden the pink panther grabs it and flicks it offscreen, much to those standings embarrasment. Great artist and all round good guy.
