His name sounds like it should be a character from a Disney Pixar movie. In many ways, he actually was. Bud Luckey was an animator who worked in the Pixar studios, and was personally responsible for bringing several of our all-time favorites to life. As an example, he was the designer behind Woody from "Toy Story". Imagine how different that film would be in your imagination if Woody hadn't looked exactly how he does?
Luckey and his drawings have worked in the entertainment business for years. You can count the original Alvin from "The Chipmunks" as one of Luckey's works. As well as drawing, he'd lend his vocal talents to Pixar creations; Luckey was the voice of Rick Dickler in "The Incredibles", and Eeyore in the 2011 version of "Winnie the Pooh". He may have been the look and sound of your childhood without you even knowing he was there! We lost Luckey in February this year, at 83 years old.
