Tuesday: A former artist/director Jen Kamerman-Jenkins from the TV show, "The Simpsons" will be our guest and we will learn some "inside" stuff about America's most successful TV failures, Bart and Homer Simpson. D'oh.... Jen (long hair pink outfit) with Serena Williams in "Tennis the Menace" episode from 2000. Jen Kamerman-Jenkins

Yeah, I actually only decided to apply because I was visiting my childhood best friend who had been working on the show for about six months way back in season two. She suggested I "try out..." I assumed you needed art college or at least even an art CLASS in your life to at least make it happen. but four animation tests and countless drives down to Los Angeles from San Jose later, they finally hired me two months after I submitted my first artwork for them with no former training in either animation or drawing. I had to learn as I go. So I would be good for that one, haha, and I would talk about it for as many times as you wish.

Psychology, Theatre  HMMMM  SIMPSONS     Nancy Cartwright does Bart’s voice.

James L Brooks, Taxi,   Voices in cartoons are done BEFORE the cartoons are drawn…..  6 months from script to screen per 22 minute episode….  No longer uses animation cells now on computer, digitaly colored. 
(I have funny stories of getting to sit in the "cheap seats" at the Emmys, too, as "not really an insider."

I have lots of PHOTOGRAPHS of me, like headshots of portraits...but not really a sketch. and I do have one picture of me as I am featured in an episode that I directed as a Simpson character. In the simpsons pic, I am the one with the long hair next to Serena Williams in the front of the bleachers, for the episode I directed in 2000 called "Tennis the Menace."

Talking about getting awarded my first show to direct "Kill the Alligator and Run" (which aired on April 30, 2000) would be good as well. Also demystifying the daily process would be fun as well not much of an outline, but let me know if you need more...
