TAIS, the Toronto Animated Image Society, will present "Creating Appealing
Cartoon Characters" with Peter Emslie. In the evening's presentation, the
long-time Disney animator will explain his personal theory on what makes
for good cartoon character design, by referring to videotape and sketching
on the spot to illustrate various points. Since 1979, Emslie has spent much
of his time drawing for the Walt Disney Company. On staff for 10 years and
now as a regular freelancer, Emslie continues to illustrate for various
Disney character products. His clients include Disney Publishing and The
Disney Stores. Emslie has also taught Character Design at Sheridan College
and continues to teach occasionally at Studio M. The event will take place
on Wednesday, January 26, 2000 at 8 pm at City Hall, 100 Queen St. West,
Committee Room #4. Admission is free for TAIS members, everyone else $4.
Memberships will be available at the door. For more information, visit the
TAIS website, or call Patrick Jenkins
