Thanks For visiting my page ;-) My name is Shawn, but my friends call me Baloo. I'm Very influenced by Disney, MGM, Hanna Barbera, Warner Bros. Some of my most influential animators/illustrators Disney's "Nine Old Wise Men" Dick Lundy, Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng, Art Davis, Bob McKimson, George Gordon, Harvey Kurtzman, Fred Moore, Charles M. Schulz, Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel)I really enjoy the work of all these artist and more... I Love traveling and meeting new artist, friends and seeing new places. I enjoy music as well. I started Drawing at the age of 12 after seeing the Walt Disney Classic "The Jungle Book" and really took interest in drawing the Character Baloo the Bear. I give a lot to that character for influencing me to start illustrating that's why I have obtained that nick name ;-) Art has taken me many places and allowed me to meet some of the coolest people I know today. I strive to be the best I can be in a career that is my passion.
