Back in 1998, Animation Producer Peter Hastings (Pinky and the Brain, Tiny Toons) contacted me about sketching some ideas for a "magical expanding building" to open his new TV show "ABC's One Saturday Morning". We discussed the deco optimism of there 1939 world's fair, modern architecture, even the Matterhorn as to this amazing building that he wanted to rise from the ground. After sketching for some time, I submitted a sequence to him and the he and his producer Prudence Fenton were happy with. It was even more than a building, it had a ride in it! Fenton and her team ran with it, making my sketches of a "cereal bowl splashdown" and calendars being torn, chasing bulbs and satellite dishes, come to life and better than ever! A fun memory that in a way inspired our "thrillboard" project...
