The Corner Booth: Behind-The-Scenes Stories and Conversation From The Animation Industry

Once upon a time, there were groups of artists that didn't get credited for their work on an animated cartoon. For example, many ink and paint girls didn't get credit in some Disney features. And on Looney Tune shorts, only the animators got credit but their assistants, the inbetweeners, the ink and paint deparment, didn't get any credit. Well, thing have changed. Now everyone who work on an animated cartoons gets credit right?...uh...no. This still happens today. Chance, Larry, and Luis decided to record a discussion they had on this very subject, in a car ride after lunch. Take a listen as we discuss this interesting topic.For more info about The Corner Booth Podcast, subscribe to our NEWSLETTER.Visit Larry Whitaker at: http://www.larrywhitakerproductions.com/Visit Luis Escobar at: http://www.luisescobarblog.com and http://www.thedrawingwebsite.com

June Walker Patterson worked as an ink and paint girl at Walt Disney's studio starting her career on classics like Pinocchio. She went on to work on Fantasia and Bambi and other animated features and shorts. Today, she is 93-years-old and lives in the Los Angeles and she told us, at The Corner Booth, her story.

Her husband Ray Patterson, also worked at Disney. He later became a core member of the Tom & Jerry crew at MGM.

We had a blast talking to her. I hope you enjoy this interview.

How come my art/product/website isn’t making me money? No matter what line of work you are in, knowing how to market yourself is essential! It’s not just about what you’re selling – it’s about how you present and offer desired value to your market, audience, etc. That said, no one knows the importance of being able to create an independent economy for one’s self more then us ARTISTS!!! The problem is that most creative people just want to be creative. Hey, who doesn’t?…that’s the fun part! Short of a fluke or a miracle, however, simply putting your work online in front of random viewers just isn’t enough to generate a lucrative audience/result. There’s a lot more to it and we can ALL benefit from knowing how to market ourselves!

Join us, your Corner Booth Animation pals, Luis Escobar, Chance Raspberry, and Larry Whitaker as we take one of hopefully several looks into the nuts and bolts of independent marketing.
