The works in this gallery are some of my final pencil drawings down for one of the 1994 style guides, which were then inked on a light board by others. These are the oldest original Pooh and Company drawings I own as these were done after I left my staff position at The Disney Studios (after more than 14 years) and became a full-time independent contractor. Shortly after these drawings were completed The Disney Store creative department approached me to work only for them, a satisfying and creatively rewarding 7 1/2 year association. Of course, working at home allowed me the opportunity to take an occassional freelance assignment from Warner and Hanna-Barbera.
