Pablo Ferro

Famous American movie title designer, b. 1935, Antilla, Oriente Province, Cuba, d. 2018. Pablo Ferro was raised on a remote farm before emigrating to New York with his family as a teenager. Ferro taught himself animation from a book by Preston Blair. In the mid fifties, he began freelancing in the New York animation industry for Academy Pictures and Elektra Studios. He met former Disney animator William Tytla, who became his mentor. Another peer was Stan Lee, the editor of Marvel Comics, with whom he created a series of science fiction adventure comics. In 1961 he became one of the partners to form Ferro, Mogubgub and Schwartz with animation stylist Fred Mogubgub and comics artist Lew Schwartz, and in 1964 he formed Pablo Ferro Films. Ferro worked on films such as Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove and The Thomas Crown Affair.

Wikipedia: Ferro has won over 70 national and international awards, among them numerous CLIOs, a DGA Excellence in Film Award, and several Lifetime Achievement awards. He has also received nominations from such highly regarded institutions as the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt. In 1999 Pablo was awarded the prestigious DaimlerChrysler Design Award, and in 2000 Pablo was inducted into the Art Directors Hall of Fame.
