Tests for an animated version of a children's book titled The Adventures of Brisky Bear & Trooper Dog: Be Kind, Be Friendly, Be Thankful, created by Steve Bolt, written by Phil Callaway, and illustrated by Sharon Dahl.

They called me up and asked that I model and animate their characters in a short scene to help generate interest in a future project. The book came with a CD of songs sung in the course of the story, and I chose a short selection from one called My Lucky Day.

This was my first real commission and I'm grateful that they contacted me. I'm not too fond of animating, but I enjoyed this project for the most part, and even got a couple stuffed animals based on the title characters from Glory Be Collectibles. I gave them to my folks.
