Thursday September 28th 4pm-5pm
Wexner Center for the Arts
Get a behind-the-scenes look at the history of animation at NBCUniversal—including the DreamWorks catalogue—from archivist Chase Schulte.
DreamWorks Animation has produced some of the most memorable and beloved animated films of the past 25 years.

In this presentation, Chase Schulte, Ohio State alum and manager of Physical Archive Operations at NBCUniversal—which acquired DreamWorks Animation in 2016—discusses the history of the studio and some of its most popular films, as well as some examples of past animated films released by Universal. A Q&A session follows the talk. (60 mins.)

TBT Pogofest!

by | Sep 14, 2023

It’s no secret that Pogo is one of Jeff’s favorite comics of all time. So imagine his surprise and delight at being invited to receive a ‘star’ on the Pogofest Walk of Fame in 1997. Pogofest is an (almost) annual festival dedicated to celebrating all things ‘Pogo’ and Walt Kelly located in the swamps of Waycross, Georgia!

9/11

by | Sep 11, 2023

September 11, 2001, Jeff and Vijaya had just arrived in Norway for a comics festival in Bergen. Illustrating the experience of what it was like to be far from home that day, these original art pieces were donated to the “9-11: Emergency Relief” graphic novel which was a fundraiser for the American Red Cross.

#TBT Wexner Center Mural

by | Sep 7, 2023

In 2008, The Wexner Center for the Arts (located at The Ohio State University), hosted the: Jeff Smith Bone and Beyond gallery exhibit, which featured Jeff’s original art from Bone, Rasl and his Shazam miniseries. Also on display were original pages from some of Jeff’s heroes such as E.C. Segar’s Popeye, Carl Barks’ Uncle Scrooge, Charles Schulz’s Peanuts and more. Perhaps the most jaw-dropping part of the exhibit was the floor-to-ceiling panel installation taken from a scene in the Bone series.

To our friends and fans: Jeff Smith is recuperating from a cardiac arrest, which he suffered on Sunday. There will be a long road to recovery, so regrettably we must cancel the remainder of his book tour this year. Our apologies to his fans who were coming to see him at: Rob Con (VA), CXC (OH), Bedrock Comic Con (TX) and NYCC (NY). We hope this is just a bump in the road and that Jeff will see you all next year. Thank you for your support and understanding at this time.
