I'M NOT DEAD......YET

Mark Twain once said "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
Well, I just heard that Dan Lee had died, which greatly peaked my curiosity, since that is "me"
This Dan Lee was actually a sketch artist for Disney/Pixar. and was the creator of the Nemo caracter in Finding Nemo. He worked on Pixar productions such as Toy Story, Monsters Inc and Bugs Life. The last picture that he worked on was Ratatouille, and there is a dedication to him in the credits.
There are too few artists in the world to loose one at such a young age (he was 35) so I think I should spend more of my spare time sketching and drawing. I will never attain the success as the other Dan but at least I can use up a little more graphite and paper than I am now.
