At 16, Dave built sets for Wally Boag (Golden Horseshoe Revue) at Disneyland. At 18 he began a 14-year career working in Walt Disney Productions Animation Department, and left after Roger Rabbit and Little Mermaid to start Spaff Animation, producing animation for Disney, Warner Bros, Universal Studios and others.

Dave was a storyboard artist for Francis Ford Coppola. He created illusions for magician Rob Zabrecky, and for Guimar?es' and DelGaudio's "Nothing To Hide" at the Geffen and off Broadway. He recently created "Lost River" with Ryan Gosling, including designs, storyboards, sets, and special effects. And, often as not, he can be found cutting out silhouettes at the Magic Castle!!

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
