Pretty much a guide about getting a job as a storyboard animator in LA. Interesting at first but kind of dry, and very specific. If that's your thing it's super informative. I admit I skipped the last 10 or so pages of the conclusion. One thing that stuck out was that as usual, unions are great.

Read for Popsugar 2020 prompt "Book Set in a City That Has Hosted the Olympics" (LA - 1932, and 2028)
So, huge disclaimer: I can't draw, I have no interest in moving to LA, and I'll never work in animation (unless Cartoon Network suddenly has a huge need for HR ladies and the well from California to STL has been run dry lol), but I absolutely adored this book.
The color palette is so sweet and candy-like, and I love that the author explains the pros and cons of moving to LA to work in animation. While I may not be in the scene at all, one of my favorite things to learn about is the behind-the-scenes action that makes all the cool creative things I love happen, and this book delivers on that for sure!
Even if you're not interested in working in animation, I highly recommend reading this if you want a tiny sneak peek into how your cartoon faves get made.

This is a great resources if you are looking into going into animation. As someone who is not, this was still a great book and very informative.

Would not have got this book if I had realized it was a biography
