My friends James and Kendra Baxter and family came by for a short visit. It was great showing them some of the sites around Vancouver B.C. Canada. The following day, they stopped in at the college where we teach Character Animation and where I am the head of the Story-Visual Language Course -
James and Kendra were so generous with their time as after they spent the morning giving a Q and A with the animation students, after lunch they returned and James sat with the students to talk, draw sketches and sign some images for the students. As Kendra mentioned, he wants to make sure every student who wants to see him, is able to. James is so talented but his generosity towards the students makes us all respect him even more.
Below are some photos of his visit.

The 3D students put this photo together with all the sketches James had drawn for them.
He was again so thoughtful to spend so much time with our students. So thankful they were able to visit the students :-) |
