One Million Dollar Gift

Uber-talented Disney artist Francesco Guerrini made me a one million dollar present in Florence during my workshop's lunch break, last Saturday. He presented me with two sheets full of original drawings of him. One sheet with Donald Duck all over it, the other one with beautiful versions of my own birds designs. I was really, really blown away. Francesco has no idea how big this is to me.

«Florian Satzinger has a drawing style with a snap and verve that harken back to the best of classic Disney and mid 20th Century Warner Brothers animation. The lines with which he delineates his characters zing, bounce and swoop so delightfully that they suggest lively motion even before they’re animated. Satzinger credits Southworth as his major influence, and his work in the style of great classic hand-drawn animation shows his continuation of that tradition.»
