Animation Monkey

Hi my name is Suzanne Kaufman. I am an animator, illustrator who secretly is having an affair with animation. I was born in the Midwest, and grew up on healthy doses of Saturday morning cartoons and macaroni and cheese. My style is inspired by lots and lots of monkeys and 1950s-era cartoons. This my place to post all my geeky research and love of character animation.
