Description: The Struggling Cartoonist by Professor Mark Stephen Smith, Mark Stephen Smith While cleaning out his art studio, adjunct animation Prof. Mark Toonery accidentally unleashes a dozen drawings into the real world of his two-bedroom apartment. He and his wife Lisa must suddenly share their living space with rejected drawings from Saturday morning cartoons and comics. Deadbeat Skunk, Sezquatch the Bigfoot, Arsonist Space Squirrels, and even fantasy illustrations like a winged gargoyle and an impossibly huge giant soon crowd the hallway. Worse yet, not all the characters are entirely friendly... Although mad scientist Dr. Ratnest seems to have turned over a new leaf in the third dimension, his predictably twisted lab assistant, a psychopathic platypus named Daggur Bill, has to be confined to Lisas linen closet. When Dr. Ratnest refuses to plot the platypus escape, the sabertoothed sidekick decides to take matters into his own diabolical hands.Adjunct animation Prof. Mark Toonery accidentally unleashes a dozen drawings into the real-world of his two-bedroom apartment. While most of the rejects from Saturday morning cartoons prove friendly, a trio of villains cause problems for the artist and his wife Lisa. As reformed mad scientist Dr. Ratnest attempts to help Prof. Mark with his website, his predictably twisted lab assistant, a sabertoothed platypus, plots his escape from the hallway linen closet. At the appearance of an impossibly huge giant from a fantasy illustration, however, the psychopathic platypus may have found just the distraction he was waiting for... FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Professor Mark Stephen Smith has been teaching animation for nearly thirty years. He started with Video Animation, the very class that brought him to Auburn University Montgomery, where he got his Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design. In 2000, his first book was published, The Lost World Adventures, based on characters by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (author of Sherlock Holmes), which Prof. Mark adapted and illustrated. After his wife got a job offer in Atlanta, he moved to join her there, figuring it would be an opportunity to become a full-time animator at Cartoon Network. Although he tried out for a couple of shows, an hour-long tutorial on Flash (now Adobe Animate) opened his eyes to the possibilities of being a freelance animator. About this time, he began teaching at Westwood College, and started writing his second book, The Art of Flash Animation: Creative Cartooning. He later joined Art Institute Atlanta, and more recently Kennesaw State and Clayton University online. He completed his Masters of Science in Information Design and Communication at SPSU, which is now Kennesaw State. Prof. Mark lives near Atlanta with his wife, daughter, a dog, and two birds. He produces freelance animation for TV commercials, book promos, and short films, and has won three Telly Awards and an Addy for Best Sales Video. His puppet film, That There Hawbit: A Redneck Puppet Parody, won a Bronze Award in the Best Parody Category of the Independent Shorts Awards, a Los Angeles Film Festival. Soon afterward, My Sketchy Recollection (an animated trailer for this very book) soon followed in the same film festival, this time winning a Gold Award in the Best Trailer/Teaser Category. The same film also won a Silver Award for Best Animation Short. Prof. Marks website is Cartoonyville.com.
