Ron Husband: Legendary Animator

Welcome folks to the Pencil Pushers Podcast. I am your humble host, Mike Rosado, here with another banger episode with our very special guest, Ron Husband. Ron is a master illustrator and animator who was employed by the Disney animation studio from the mid-70's until 2013. He worked on classic characters during their renaissance in the 80's and 90's such as Gaston, Jafar, Pumbaa, John Smith, Dr. Sweet and more. Which we do talk about, but the real meat of our conversation comes when we dive into his passion for drawing and a passing of the torch, as we talk about his decades of knowledge through teaching at schools as well as his amazing book, Quick sketching with Ron Husband. This ones a little personal too. Ron was the first animator that ever connected with me when I wrote Walt Disney Studios as a 12 year old dreaming of working there as a career. He was candid, open and super humble as he talked about the importance of being a team player and working for the greater vision of an artistic project. I'm super pumped to share this discussion with you, so do yourself a favor, follow him on ronhusband.blogspot.com while I invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy our chat with Ron. The Pencil Pushers Podcast is a celebration of the hand-drawn arts. I'll be interviewing friends and idols in illustration, animation, comic-art, and more. - Mike Rosado https://www.instagram.com/ekimodasor/ Produced and edited by Trujillo Media Additional music provided by Epidemic Sound
