Join me, Stephen DeStefano, in my first online “Zoom-inar“ event, for ninety minutes of chatter about life at Spumco, Games Animation and the LA cartoon scene of the 1990s!

No lie, I never could draw Ren Hoek very well, but I knew lots of folks who could, and I will be talking about them and my early experiences in the cartoon “biz”.

Witness! Me drawing live on camera!

Hear! Me straining not to bad-mouth people (I won’t, seriously).

See! Whatever old drawings I can find (I’m sure there’s gotta be some.)

Learn! Drawing secrets of the cartooning MASTER THEORITICIANS.

I'll likely be entertaining, but I also hope to share some rock solid information, whether its a bit of animation history, or some very solid cartoon drawing theories that I learned from the hardcore masters of the art. What makes a good looking character and how do you nail their construction? Do you know how to ace a great scene composition every time? And--what IS funny, anyhow?

WIN MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!

(Not really, but the first five folks—-gotta be strangers, no friends or family, because how fair would that be?--who join up WILL get a real paper-and-everything pencil drawing, the way we used to do ‘em for our storyboards, on good ol' sticky-notes!)

After my 90 minutes are up, if you're still watching, alive or awake, feel free to ask me questions. ANY questions! G'WAN, I DARE YOU.

Fork over a measly TEN BUCKS, hit the link above on JUNE 3, 2025 at 8PM (Eastern Time) and spread out, I'm gonna need a lot of space. Things may get messy!

Tune in, won’t you???

Love your work! How do we pay 10 bucks to sign up for the seminar?

Stephen DeStefano

Hm. Good question! Is there not a button to press that says “buy”?

You’re a good person! Thanks you, Christopher. Please message me with contact information—you’ve got a sticky note drawing coming to you!

Pedro Vargas

I hope I did it right 😅 I just subscribed/signed up to your Patreon, hoping that’s all I had to do!

Aw, no Pedro, it’s actually a one time purchase deal. There should be a space where, for 10$, you can buy access to the event on the date. My apologies for the misunderstanding—if you’d prefer canceling your $5 subscription and just going with the one time ten dollars, I completely understand.

Stephen DeStefano

Okay, so folks seem to be having an issue signing up for the ten dollar price. I think only one person has signed up for the one time ticket, and everyone else is, like myself, in the dark. Please be patient as I try to figure this out! My apologies!

Stephen DeStefano

AH! So here's what's happening with this business, I've figured out. IF YOU SUBSCRIBE at the $5 level, you get instant access to this event. If you just drop in, and don't wanna subscribe, it's the one time deal of ten smackers. And just so you know, I took the Zoom link down because you have to be good and stay with until the day of, and then you get that cherished information. And for those in the newly created 2$ tier? You get bupkes. Except some fun drawings and my undying love xoxox. Seriously, thank you for your patience.

I went the subscription route (7.50 I think it was) and then cancelled to try and go back and buy the 10 buck ticket but since the membership is still active for the next month the option doesn’t seem to appear so I’ll just reactivate my monthly and see where that takes me! See you on the zoominar

I managed to land a ticket without a sub. Whatever you changed, it worked - but there’s no more info sent out other than a receipt from Eventbrite. What happens next?

When you say “Eventbrite”, I’m assuming you mean you purchased access here for $10, Cedarwood? If so, you don’t have to do anything…until June 3, 8pm EST, and tune into the link—-forthcoming—to the Zoom event. That’s it! And thanks so much for your participation. I hope you’ll enjoy yourself.

Stephen DeStefano

Sadly kids, my first five purchasers/subscribers have been found. Still, that doesn’t mean I don’t love the shit out of you all. Thanks again for all your support. Stay tuned, I will announce when the Zoom link has been posted.

Stephen DeStefano

A link for tomorrow's event has been posted! If you don't see it, let me know, but otherwise, see you tomorrow evening at 8pm EST.

Jeff Toons

Wonderful chat. I'll look forward to the recording so I can replay it. Cheers

Stephen DeStefano

Thank you for showing up tonight everyone, that was a gas! Stay tuned for the recording to be posted, and those of you waiting for a drawing, just…wait. Have a good evening!

Stephen DeStefano

Okay so this went badly, but I can’t seem to attach the recorded video at top, I dunno why, but from what I can tell, and from what Karen Green has told me, it does seem to be attached to download at the bottom there. If anyone has any better ideas of how to present and share it privately amongst you all, please give a shout, because this all seems wrong, or at least not right.
