Now retired after fifty years in the industry working on shows including Yogi Bear, The Smurfs, Scooby Doo, The Jetsons, Darkwing Duck, and The Beatles' film Yellow Submarine, Campbell creates paintings based on these characters. Mark talks with Campbell about sharing his love of art with fans of all ages.
