New issue of Animation Blast

Animation Blast is my favorite magazine, and it keeps getting better. It is about one thing — animation artists, and the editor, Amid Amidi, always seems to pick my favorites. This is the first issue that has interior color pages, and they're put to great use. There's an interview with Gary Baseman (Teacher's Pet), a review of a 1956 book, Walt Disney's Our Friend the Atom, and a must-read interview with Hanna-Barbera character designer Ed Benedict, including an appreciation by John Kricfalusi in which he explains why Benedict is his favorite animation designer. The magazine costs $6 and you can read more about it at the Animation Blast web site. Link Discuss
