Profile Information
- About Me:
- Ron Stark is the director of S/R Laboratories Animation Art Conservation Center in Westlake Village, California. For the past 30+ years he has been “Mickey’s doctor,” as he sometimes says in an attempt to briefly explain his job. S/R Laboratories is the only facility in the world dedicated to the preservation of art used in the making of animated films. S/R is also the home of Courvoisier Galleries of San Francisco. In 1937, Courvoisier Galleries became the first to sell and distribute Disney’s animation art to the general public. Today, all of the styles, traditions, and craftsmanship that went into the distinctive Courvoisier presentations created at the Disney Studios and later at Courvoisier reside at S/R Labs. In addition, S/R recreated the unique inks and paints for Disney’s Art Editions Sleeping Beauty limited edition cel suite and has restored artwork for many Disney Company departments, including the Disney Archives and the Animation Research Library. S/R is the only art conservation company to be Adobe® Service Providers and also specializes in fine digital imaging and restoration of old photos, ceramic and porcelain as well.. Ron is the Microtek Guy; a spokesperson for Microtek’s high end line of scanners and national lecturer/teacher of digital imaging and Adobe® Photoshop® techniques.
Ron has served as the consulting conservator and archivist to Disney’s World Wide Publishing division in Burbank, providing guidance for the preservation of over one million images from the historic Golden Books to comic strips, model sheets, stills, coloring and activity books, and just about any image you can recall from the hundreds of thousands of Disney publications produced over the years. Add to that the Disney Art Editions archives as well. Whether it’s a Sericel, limited edition boxed set of illustrations, or a hand-inked production cel, it’s Ron who will help preserve it for future generations.
In 2001, S/R Laboratories, in conjunction with the Disney Family Foundation and Retlaw Enterprises, co-sponsored “Walt Disney: The Man and His Magic” at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum commemorating Walt’s 100th birthday. The four-month-long event featured one of the largest vintage animation art galleries assembled in recent years, displaying art from the most memorable Disney films and cartoon shorts. It was Ron’s job to create the gallery and populate it with representative examples of art and artifacts to best exemplify the work of Walt Disney and his staff. Was it a success? “I think we did a good job because the Reagan Library realized the best attendance in its history over the four-month run of the show,” Ron points out.
Ron is a member of several professional organizations including the Western Association for Art Conservation, the National Society for Paint and Coatings Tehcnology, The Inter-Society Color Council, The American Feneration for Television and Radio Artists, and the Director’s Guild of America.
Ron has also been an accomplished “voice” in the entertainment community and has starred in the Sears Radio Theater; recreated the personalities of Walter Winchell, Howard Cossell, and many others for radio commercials; and was the voice of the American Heart Association. He is an award-winning producer and served as associate producer for Leslie Iwerks’s Disney film, “Ub: the Hand Behind The Mouse,” distributed by Buena Vista.
Ron grew up in Southern California.

Artistic Vision
Posted by Stacy Esch on November 6, 2023 at 8:15pm 10 Comments 0 Likes
Is an artist's "vision" primarily a product of experience or imagination? I don't want to pursue the simple answer that it's both. Is it primarily one or the other, of if it's just plain old both, how do they interact to create an imaginary world?
Is it true that some people have more artistic vision than others, or is this kind of seeing equally available to all?
Trying to find treatment.

In the beginning of August 2008 I was doing great. I went to the gym 3 times a week for 3 hours each time. I had lost weight and had a nice tone coming.

In the middle of August a leg press came down on top of my head while i was trying to get it reset to the proper location so I would be able to use the equipment. I got very dizzy and had to go home, that was the end of my…
