Rowland B*. Wilson at Don Bluth’s Studio in Dublin, Ireland .
It’s almost a year since Rowland’s death.
At the time that he died, I had just found and scanned the composition and painting notes that he handed out to the crew of Thumbelina.
Here’s the first set: Composition

I’m thinking of moving soon to a new web hosting service that will allow absolutely humungous bandwidth use. When the move is complete, I’ll post these as a high resolution PDF for your downloading delight, as well as the notes on painting.
*The “B” in Rowland B. Wilson stands for Bragg, by the way.

Where, when and how did Rowland pass away … I am so sad to read this news. Where is there info on all his Playboy cartoons, his comic strip “Noon Ringle” etc. A lot of us who worked w/Rowland in NYC a long time ago are interested. Thank you.
@Penny Shartle: I’ve e-mailed you.
I’ve only just discovered that Rowland is no longer with us – and that makes me very sad indeed.
I had been sent a photo of all the Richard Williams Animation staff – taken in 1975 outside the studio in Soho Square, London – and been asked to identify them all. Well, Rowland was there of course because he was our in-house designer/ illustrator at the time. He was a great character and we worked on many assignments together which I remember dearly.
My condolancies go to his family and loved ones.

Hello Carl! Welcome to Articles & Texticles. The news of Rowland’s death has taken a while to get around. I guess that’s a side effect of his peripatetic life style. It’s hard to keep up with news of someone if they are forever re-settling somewhere else every year or so.
I hope you’re well and prospering in these weird times.
