If you have a group of students or employees and want them to learn more about the history of physical comedy, CONTACT ME about a live presentation! I can visit your school or business and deliver a fun filled talk with projected video and images. I have worked in the animation industry for 30 years, and am happy to share my experience with others. I have presented comedy for animators at San Francisco State University, Cogswell Polytechnical College, and The Academy of Art University. I also spoke at the first conference of the Society for Animation Studies at UCLA, and presented my professional work at Siggraph.
“Jonathan is a really great and talented artist. I originally met him when we worked together at ILM. Since then, he has done many wonderful things including writing a fantastic book! He came to Cogswell College and gave a talk to our students. The room was packed, and Jonathan did a great job helping coach them on their skills.
I definitely highly recommend him for speaking or animating! He is great at both!”
Jerome Solomon, Cogswell Polytechnical College
