ToonSeum

Being a graphic designer and loving cartoons, you appreciate the early cartoon shorts, comics, cartoonists and the artform that became a major factor in America's progression to digital art and animation. ToonSeum is a museum dedicated to the art of cartooning. Whether you are a designer, animator, illustrator, or just love cartoons, this museum is full of history, workshops and gives you a better appreciation for the cartoonists and their popular works.

From ToonSeum:
"The mission of the ToonSeum is to celebrate the art of cartooning. Our goal is to promote a deeper appreciation of the cartoonists and their work through hands-on workshops, community outreach, cartoon-oriented educational programming, and exhibitions of original cartoon art."

The museum is close by in Pittsburgh in the Cultural District. An exhibit worth seeing is coming up real soon on Saturday, June 2, 2012 with a "Betty Boop" event. For more information visit the link below:
