Covering the Extremes and all the In-Betweens

Welcome to the CableCartoon, the official blog of ASIFA-SF. For those of you wondering why the world needs another weblog, the answer is: we don’t care about the world so much. The CableCartoon tips its hat to the Brew, AWN and all the other big guys serving the planet a steady diet of animation fun, but we’ve got our own agenda…

The CableCartoon is dedicated to the greater San Francisco Bay Area. We cover the waterfront, from San Rafael to San Jose and everything inbetween. We want to tell you what’s happening in our neck of the woods, from the big studios to the little guys in their garage. ESPECIALLY when it comes to the little guys. Our animation scene is a great mix of art and commerce, big business and personal expression, that deserves a little more attention.

We’re here to promote and connect local animators and cartoonists. The CableCartoon will be a resource for finding tips, talent, and technology for up-and-coming artists. We want your stories, past and present, to preserve the rich history of animation in and around San Francisco. And of course, we want to encourage membership in ASIFA-SF, the leading animation organization in the Bay Area  (Are you a member? Join here now!).

Your conductors on the line are PowellMason, Mr. Hyde, and CaliforniaKid. We’ve got some great sights to see, so let’s get started. Animation students, teachers, pros, independents, fans and friends—ALL ABOARD!
