109. Vance Gerry Part 8 of 9 (Guest John Ramirez, Story Artist- Hercules 1997 & Tarzan 1999)

This week on the Walt’s Oasis podcast, I am continuing my series featuring layout artist, story man, and visual development artist Vance Gerry.  In this episode, I am joined by guest John Ramirez.John’s time with the Walt Disney company includes work as a story artist for 1997’s Hercules,1999’s Tarzan, and Toy Story 2.  Beyond the world of animation, John has also worked in the field of theme park design, including for Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland.  Other accomplishments include designing floats for the Pasadena Rose Parade (also known as the Tournament of Roses Parade).  I will link to his website in the show notes which includes storyboards, concept designs, and more from projects around the world. You can visit his website here. I would highly recommend visiting the Vance Gerry Memorial Blog and a 1986 episode of the Disney Family Album, a television show on which Gerry appeared. Please follow myself and the show on Instagram @spencerwright1989 and @waltoasis.
