Floyd Norman came to San Jose for the Big Wow ComicFest. I'd seen his spotlight panel at SDCC and saw him speak at the Walt Disney Family Museum. I read his
Animated Life: a lifetime of tips, tricks, and stories from a Disney legend. This was the first time I'd seen him set up at a table. During his second stint at Disney, he was loaned out to Pixar for
Toy Story 2 and
Monsters, Inc.. After Floyd finished his work on the latter movie, Scott Tilley recruited him to do the pencils for the book
Boo on the Loose. I had the book handy for reference so i asked Floyd to draw her.
