Michael J. Bourbeau, a recent 2011 graduate, has been selected to have his thesis film (featuring “Blue & Peanut") as part of “What’s Up, Doc? The Animation Art of Chuck Jones,” a six year tour exhibiting work by Chuck Jones, creator of Bugs Bunny, Wile E. Coyote, The Road Runner, Daffy Duck, The Grinch, and many other wonderful cartoons. The tour begins in July at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, NYC. It is in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity.
At Hamilton, Bourbeau majored in Art and was a member of the football team. He now lives in New York City and studies 3D Animation at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) graduate program.
