These are all caricatures done by my late great friend Bruno Bianchi at KK Dic in Tokyo between 1984 and 1988.

Bruno Bianchi caricatures from KK Dic Tokyo 1984 to 1988

a postcard and my student card for language class

 various costumes

 I had a nice yellow tie with spots and my fish tie clip of course.

 we did a lot of action series like Cops. KK Dic was renamed KK C&D in the last year I was there.

 a self caricature of Bruno in Andy Heyward's clothese. My red pen broke one day

 Herve Bedard brought over an old computer with a video game that we played day and night to solve.

 the video game had zombies and ghouls.

 the game was pretty frustrating sometimes.

 the game required applying things you found or passwords to go to the next level.

 Herve's game was a black and white game of course since this was about 1986

 Bruno was constantly developing series based on some new toy line made in Japan. this one had mechanical animals

 Mike Kaweski a fellow overseas animator at KK Dic

 I must have mentionned to Bruno that I worked on Scoobie Doo

 My first animation job was assistant animator at Hanna Barberra

 Bruno self caricature looking like Scoobie Doo.

 We did a lot of sheet direction and lip assignment. But we were the best in the world.

 Cops was an action adventure show that came through the studio. We had to design characters for the series.

 One more caricature of me as a school girl. I was studying Japanese at a school in my spare time.

 The cat was from some series we did and I don't remember what it was.

 In memory of my favorie t-shirt of all time that had Pee Wee Herman on it. It lived 14 years.

 I played baseball for the KK Dic hardball team. I was the  catcher.

 I ate a lot of chicken sandwiches . the sandwiches had that little sticker on them that said ' have a nice day."

 We did a lot of cutesy shows for DIC this was parody of one called Sylvanians. Based on another toy.

 a parody Bruno did of Mike Kaweski's comic strip. Mike worked a lot on his comic strip .

 My farewell card . Me as Totoro beside Bruno

 My Dic sweatshirt and me as a student because I was going to school to study Japanese in my spare time.

 Bruno bought a house in Chartre and had a view of the cathedral.

 the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Ben Johnson destroys Carl Lewis for a day or 2 until the doping scandal broke. It took another 15 years to prove Lewis was also doping.

 a postcard and Bruno must have been developing another show based on ..you guessed it . A toy line.

Transformer shows were popular in the 1980's

Jean Charlopin decided to make live action

Red haired woman.

This was a recent cleanup of an old dog design I made in about 1981 for my first business card. It's actually part of  a run cycle that I wanted to learn to make into a GIF but I couldn't figure it out before I ran out of time.

This is a flattened image of the seperations I made for a silk screen design in 2012. It's a combination or a few designs for things I was working on at the time but I needed one more design for the silk screen workshop I was doing at the time. The hoop was a seperate color but for some reason it got stuck on the same screen as the black parts by the person running the work shop.

This is an image of the seperations made for a silk screen print I made in 2012. A Bread Guy character that I never used for animation but had some potential for something. A t-shirt perhaps.
