Sketch for Don Lagerberg's retirement book

One of my instructors from CSUF, Don Lagerberg, just retired this past semester. I took all of his life drawing classes while at CSUF as well as his storyboarding class.It was in this class that he introduced me to a movie called Casablanca. We watched it so many times in class to study all the shots and staging that I thought I would never want to see it again. Now it remains one of my favorite movies. When doing a sketch for Don's retirement book I decided to parody the cafe where most of the movie takes place. If you are not familiar with the movie I've included a screen shot. If you have not seen this movie, go watch it.

Now on YouTube

I've finally got my act together and started posting videos on You Tube. The first one is my show reel for the Fantasmic! Barge Driver Training DVD. Watch it here.
