Goodbye to Gene Deitch
Its always sad when a legendary artist passes away, Last month one of the greatest animators passed at 95! His name was Gene Deitch. He ran one of the coolest and certainly the most influential studio of all time. He was a cartoon modernist who ran the UPA studio in NY and Terrytoons. If you are a fan of the UPA style then check out his work. He will be missed but never forgotten. Check out the article on cartoonbrew.com for a more in depth bio of the name and his achievement.
