List of work he's done:
"Here is another visual feast from award-winning artist Michel Gagné. His sixth book, Frenzied Fauna: From A to Z, presents an alphabetical tour of the animal kingdom -- warped through Gagné's vivid Imagination, that is. Never before has there been a menagerie so wild, wonderful, winsome -- and weird."

A Touch of Deceit (1986)
"My third year film at Sheridan College was called A Touch of Deceit. It features a cute little rabbit and a hellish creature, and I've been told that it was kinda cute.
It became part of the 23rd International Tournée Of Animation and was theatrically distributed across the US and Canada.
This is the film Don Bluth and John Pomeroy saw, before offering me a position at their studios.

@ Phil
I'm quite concerened with my work at the moment, mainly with the size it is. I created a 16: 9 frame to draw my work inside of, I was doing a animation test and the program (when selected to 16 :9) and the actual image never paired up, it was as if the square I've drawn is widescreen but smaller than 16 : 9.
I'm worried about producing the work on the crit day in this way since I still can't seem to find out whats wrong with it let alone how to change it.
I really don't know what to do..

(The lightly drawn black square in the middle shows the 16 : 9 scale I've currently been working to. There is a lot of white space and I just don't know how to close that gap without masking)

Animation Influence's for Archer
Because Archers a motorbike and he's suppost to speed past I was wondering how I could draw this, after bouncing ideas of my father he told me to look at the Flash, and Futurama episode 300 big boys in which Fry drinks 100 coffees and becomes incredibly fast.
The Flash - Speed Force
Fry - 100 coffees
After watching these videos it furthers my original idea for drawing someone going past quickly, there are very few transition frames of the actual person, but speed lines are where the person would be.
