postscript:
Barry Macey's self-portrait, artist, cartoonist & musician. I first met Barry Macey in the early 70s when we were both working in the camera department at Halas & Batchelor Cartoon Films, London Studio in Covent Gardens. Initially we were shooting the animated TV series ‘The Jackson 5’. Barry had previously worked in a film laboratory however he was always drawing and later to move over to the art side of things. It was hippie times and I must confess that we may have been wearing flares, long hair, flowery shirts, beads perhaps no no no, but please do not hold that against us, 'love is all you need'. RKW
