I got to meet Glen Keane last week at First 10+ exhibit at the GRworks gallery. He’s a super nice guy, we chatted a bit and he drew everyone there a sketch. I brought my Art of Tangled book and he signed and doodled Rapunzel for me :)

A Tribute To The Most Amazing Man In The World. I Will Never Forget You Glen Keane… You Were And Will Always Be My Hero!
End Of An Era of the Day: Legendary character animator Glen Keane, best known for designing such beloved Disney characters as Ariel, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Beast, and Elliot the Dragon, announced today that he will be leaving Disney Animation after nearly 38 years.
“I am convinced that animation really is the ultimate art form of our time with endless new territories to explore,” Keane wrote in a letter to his Disney colleagues. ” I can’t resist it’s [sic] siren call to step out and discover them.”
Rumor has it he’s headed to DreamWorks. When TAG asked him about it two weeks ago, he would only admit to “doing due diligence, looking around, seeing what’s out there.”

As of March 23, 2012, Disney Legend Glen Keane has left the Walt Disney animation studios. Glen served as a mentor to several Disney artists and a hero to those aspiring to work for the company. This post is in honor of his outstanding work in animation, his ability to breathe life into that which was once without and his dedication to the Walt Disney company.
Go forth and conquer, Glen. Or y’know, kick back and take a break. Do whatever the fuck you wanna do because you earned it.
