    My 7th and 8th graders are researching artists on the web. I've had several
    students want to research some of the animators of their favorite games.
    I've got one good biography of a Japanese Animator that I cut out of a
    magazine but the kids are really coming up short finding anything on the
    web. I also have a student who is researching Jim Davis and can find lots
    on Garfield but nothing on the artist. Same thing goes for some deceased
    graphic artists such as Walt Disney, Chuck Jones, and a few others.

    I would rather students research some more traditional artists but these
    particular students are some that normally don't get so excited about a
    lesson so I'm trying hard to find more resources.

    Any suggestions for good web-sites that have biographies for animators and
    other graphic designers? I've got lot's of "traditional" fine artists
