Here I am at my desk in 2000 at Warner Brothers animating effects on Osmosis Jones.
I was shocked in disbelief   on the day I started, and saw that Michel Gagne had
assigned me to a corner office with a view! I've only had a window view office  twice in my animation career. Thanks Michel!

I found this link with the entire walk through of the animation from Dragon's Lair.
This was the first job I had in Los Angeles, after moving from  WashingtonDC, where I had just wrapped up some animation projects with Broadcast Arts ( soon to be Curious Pictures)

On Dragons's Lair my job was to assist Dorse Lanpher, and to keep the logs of all the scenes that got cast in the effects dept.  Within afew weeks Dorse was letting me animate ( FX), and by the time we started the second game, Space Ace  I was officially "an animator." Thank you Dorse, Thank you Don, Thank you Gary.

Awhile back I took an ActionScripting Class and one project had us making slideshows for each other. I was fortunate to be hooked up with the talented Jeanne Pitts, who actually knew what she was doing... she posted the results and the process of the making of the slide show (with my art work featured)  Lucky for me.
Here on her site

My scripting of a slide show with  her awesome photos was not as successful, so I will spare you that, (but  I did have a documented doctor note for five days in the hospital.) Any way It's taken me three years +  to pay off that hospital bill, even with Health insurance co pay.. But I digress.
Enjoy the slideshow Jeanne made for me!
