Mark Sperber Animation Artist Nickelodeon

From the frozen lands of the Canadian north and fighting his way through orcs, dragons, and American tax codes with black magic.  Sir Mark Sperber makes his way to CTN expo 2011 with stave and sketchbook in hand.  Prepare your weak heart for his fool hearty drawing adventures in sketches!

Mark pursued his quest around the world to save mankind by using his wizardry. After fighting ogres and dragons, he made way to California where he continues to use the spells of animation to enchant those in need and to preserve the existence of the human race against the evil that wants its extinction.

Sir Mark currently enchants wizardry at Nickelodeon drawing pandas and sometimes in France for snooty family/summer trips.  Make your way to the table should you dare, humans!

Alex Chechik

Alex Chechik is a domesticated gray wolf that has been trained to paint rudimentary pictures as a circus trick. He is six years old and weighs approximately 90 pounds, measuring 150 cm (59 in) in length and 85 cm (34 in) in height. He is also capable of running at speeds of 56–64 km (34–38 miles) per hour, and can continue running for more than 20 minutes, though not necessarily at that speed. In cold climates, he can reduce the flow of blood near his skin to conserve body heat.

Alex’s diet consists mainly of medium to large sized ungulates, including caribou, mule deer, and elk, as well as smaller mammals such as hares, badgers, foxes, polecats, and ground squirrels. Humans are rarely, but occasionally preyed upon. The victims are generally attacked in a sustained manner around the neck and face, and are then dragged off and consumed. Alex has very dense and fluffy winter fur, with short underfur and long, coarse guard hairs. He loves you with all of his heart.
