Louis Wain Fact #33:
A 1939 interview with Harvey Harrison, Wain’s cameraman for his animated efforts, reveals a lot of behind the scenes info, and possible insight into why Wain gave up the medium. Production was troubled, the camera was in a trestle pointed at the floor, where Wain animated. Wain would take a long time drawing, and there was an incident one hot day where Harrison fell asleep while Wain was drawing, only to wake up and find Wain asleep as well, having spilled ink all over.
