Carter Goodrich - Casting Call

About Casting Call

This book is a collection of character designs created by American character designer Carter Goodrich throughout his career in animation. These drawings, excluded from castings by “reluctant” studios, are nonetheless the most interesting of his output (and above all his favorites), carefully preserved in his boxes and meticulously selected for this book.

Limited edition of 1,000 copies, published on the occasion of the “Western!” exhibition organized from May 28 to June 21 at the Daniel Maghen gallery in Paris.
