"Being realistic is the fastest path to mediocrity" -LeSean Thomas

For all my fellow LeSean Thomas fans, here's a teaser to the doc LeS has been promising us, chronicling his time building and destroying with his fellow animation savants in South Korea. If you think you're not a fan of LeSean Thomas, check the credits of the best American cartoons of the last decade, and you'll realize you were one of us all along...

SEOUL SESSIONS PRESENTS: MAKING ANIMATION PT 1 (TEASER) from LeSeanThomas on Vimeo.


Straight up, LeS is a director and producer on The Boondocks and Black Dynamite animated series,as well as Ben 10: Alien Force, and Batman: the Brave and the Bold. Besides being a groundbreaking animation hot shot, LeS cut his teeth on comics like Arkanium, and still has the gremlins here at GhettoManga checking the feeds regularly for news about his long-awaited CannonBusters graphic novel (by the way... there's an animated version in the works too...)
Anyways, word is SEOUL SESSIONS PRESENTS: MAKING ANIMATION PT 1 will be ready in January... in the meanwhile, click here tojoin LeSean's group on Facebook. When the news comes out on these projects, you can bet you'll hear it there first!
holla!

    LeSean is a talented, smart, and brave dude. I don't think I could pick up and move half way around the world to work in animation!

    I told him online once that he's going to come back to the US and be the comics equivalent of the Master Killer after soaking up all the knowledge from from the east! :-)

    It's different when you have a family (failure takes on a new significance). But LeS is a boss. He's super confident, and has the talent and work ethic to back it up. A lot of dudes talk noise, but he has a resume that makes his swag compelling.

    Yes: I used the word "swag"... sometimes it's appropriate! lol!
