🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 Hi I'm Dominic Canine and we're here San Diego comic fest and I'm here with Willie Edo. Willie, can you talk to us a little bit about your artwork? Well, first of all, I retired after 50 years in the animation business, starting at Disney, then later Warner Brothers, Looney Tunes of course, Stint with Bob Clampett on the Benian Ciso, and then the following 14 years with Hanabar Barra, everything from the Jetson to the Yogi Barra and Huckleberry Hound shows, and then I segueed a back to Disney Studio, where I completed my career after 23 years back at Disney's. Can I ask you a little bit about what does creativity mean to you? Well, I think ever since I was a kid, five years old, I first saw Snow White in the Seven Dwarf on the big screen. I suddenly felt very creative, and I don't know if you're familiar, but during World War II, the Japanese Americans were incarcerated, and so I spent three years in a camp, and with the terrible weather in the middle of the Utah desert, creativity was very important to me, so I spent a lot of time indoor drawing during the cold, cold winters, and during the hot, hot summers, so creativity was something that I was born with, and to this date, I am still sitting there creating. Do you mind letting us know about any projects you're working on right now? Well, I've done two books based on our early days in camp. One of them is called Hello Maggie, and the other is a chapter book called A Boy in Heart Mountain, and I'm currently working on my third book called Himiko. I did promise that book to be out three years ago, so it's basically work in progress, and I'm still working on it. I did a special which was run on I Witness News, K-A-B-C, Los Angeles, narrated by our local newscaster, David Ono, and you could find that it's called The Kiss, based on my experience working on the lady in the tramp, and the iconic spaghetti kissing scene. Fantastic. Thank you very much for talking with us. It's a pleasure. Thank you.
