Artist and animator Mike Cedeno started drawing at a tender age … like shortly after he figured out how to talk.

Mike’s father was a career military man, so Mike got to draw in various corners of the globe. But when he was drawing (also painting) in high school, he was residing in California, and sent a portfolio into a freshly-formed arts-type college named Cal Arts. And Mike soon found himself learning the art of animation with the likes of the people seen directly above.

The rest (as they say) has been a long and illustrious career in Cartoonland.
