- David Levy, ASIFA East’s President, has a new animation book about to hit the stands, and it can be preordered on Amazon for a discounted rate.
Your Career in Animation: How to Survive And Thrive is described as “an insider’s guide to getting into that industry, staying there, and getting ahead.”
David interviewed a number of animation professionals including: Al Brodax, Teddy Newton, Linda Simensky, Steven Hillenberg and 100 others (myself included).
It promises to be a handy guide to staying alive in a precarious industry. You’ll have to check it out to see what I had to say.

Thanks so much for the posting, Michael. I dedicated the book to NYC, the birthplace of the animation industry. I was excited to write this book from our shared collective perspective as animation artists. It was a labor of love for the last year and one half. There will be a NYC book signing event and panel discussion announced soon.
Thanks for the support… and happy reading!
