The Dogs Of C-Kennel: Fresh Fish
Mason Mastroianni has always been passionate about art. Born with one of those rare artistic gifts, Mason was seldom seen without pen and paper as a child. Growing up, Mason worked to hone and test his talent by entering and winning many local and state art competitions. Mason attended illustration courses at the Rhode Island School of Design, then enrolled in The DAVE School (Digital Animation and Visual Effects) in Orlando. Upon graduation, he took a position as a CG animator in Minneapolis. Mason s work at Wet Cement Productions earned the company an Emmy award for computer graphic animation. Mason s combination of raw talent and early exposure to the cartooning world through his grandfather, Johnny Hart, made him by far the best candidate to carry on the comic strip, B.C. Mason s younger brother, Mick Mastroianni, serves as co-writer on the new B.C. team. Mick s writing speaks to a younger generation while Mason s style harks back to the early days of the strip. Mason and Mick, with their combined talent and youthful exuberance, will continue to supply you with a daily dose of laughter through the silly caveman antics of the B.C. world.
