This is a reminder for the Baxton Benefit on Saturday Septemeber 9th! They have a great collection of art, sculptures, toys and all kinds of animation memoribilia like the drawing of Tim Burton (left) by John Musker! Also Jamie and I have donated a signed copy of the book and have gotten over a dozen of the contributing authors to sign this copy! We hope ot get a few more signatures when we get there Saturday since we know many of the contributors will be attending this event!Come out and join the fun!
The event will be held at California Institute of the Arts on September 9th in the main gallery starting at 5:00pm. Martha Baxton was the secretary of the CalArts Character Animation program for years. Mrs. Baxton has been going through a difficult time following a stroke that her husband Larry suffered. Former students, including Cathlin, are rallying together and holding a silent auction Septemeber 9th to raise funds for her husband's hospital bills. Martha is fondly remembered by CalArts grads, who call her the "backbone" and "heart and soul" of the animation program, and describe her as "the den mother" to the animation students.
Maybe you can get your hands on the rooster drawing by Milt Kahl above! The auction website has details about how to contribute artwork for the event.
