Craig Clark has quite the impressive resume for someone who has pretty much lived and breathed animation and visual effects his entire life. Beginning his career in acting at age 8, it wouldn’t be long until he decided to switch on over to animation at age 14. 

Among his mentors were animators Corny Cole , Duane Crowther, Grim Natwick and longtime Disney animator Amby Paliwoda. In the following years, Clark broke his teeth in TV animation in companies like Bill Melendez productions, Film Roman, and Klasky Csupo on the first three seasons of The Simpsons. With a series of feature films in his catalog such as Forrest Gump, The Mask, Big Trouble in Little China and Cool World, Clark loves dabbling in all different forms of animation, not just with characters. 

Beyond that, he has his own original creations known as the Kustomonsters, which are a series of films that are still being done to this very day in his own spare time. We spoke last week on his experience in animation, and how much it has benefited him in the long run.

Original air date: November 20th, 2020

Starting today, I'll be uploading every episode of Sketch-i-Cast COVID Edition prior to March 2021. One episode a day for the next two weeks.

Today, I interview the co-creator of the new adult cartoon on SyFy called Wild Life, Adam Davies, animation manager at the Maryland Institute College of Art. I'm not just interviewing him because he's one of my favorite faculty members. ;)

ORIGINAL PUBLISHING DATE: November 13th, 2020

So the newer episodes of Sketch-i-Cast will now be posted on Anchor until I end up taking a hiatus (whenever that will be). I may post the first 16 episodes on here within the following weeks, but first I'll need to see if Anchor will be user friendly enough for me to work around.

Anywho, so for tonight's interview, one of my former college professors was kind enough to join in as a guest. Jeanette Gerrity Gomez is a full time humanistic studies professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art, as well as that department's assistant chair. In addition to caring so deeply about the well being of others, she has performed civil duties from district court to associate professor to even Fullbright scholar in El Salvador. Having been a former student in her Voices: Women in the World class, I knew it would be perfect to interview her for international women's month on how she got to where she is now and how much her career impacted her in the long run.
