101 DALMATIANS was Disney’s first feature to showcase the new Xerox method for transferring animators’ drawings to cels. The animators loved it! For the first time they could see their actual drawings on the screen, rather than the “tracings” of the ink and paint department. The technology created a new, very modern look. Even the backgrounds took advantage of xerography; elaborate layouts were transferred to cels and placed over watercolor washes.

Tom Schamp was born in 1970 in a small town near Antwerp (Belgium) and grew up in Brussels . After graduating from the Applied Arts department at a Brussels art school, he spent another year studying Graphics in Poland, which gave him the opportunity to flesh out several ideas he’d had in mind for a while but which he had not been able to realise in Brussels. He gradually developed a style of his own, using acrylic paint on cardboard.
