Artist, photographer, filmmaker and cartoon cell animator Eduardo Cemano was born Ed Seeman in New York City, New York. He studied art at the High School of Music and Art in Manhattan and the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. In the 1960s his highly textured oil paintings consisting of tiny juxtaposed points of color were represented by the East Hampton Galleries on 57th St. in New York City. One of those paintings hung at the New York Museum of Modern Art for three years ,other paintings were purchased by the Chrysler Museum in Provincetown and the University of Massachusetts. Five of Ed's experimental films are in the Library of Congress. His Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention movie Uncle Meat (1987) won a Cine Gold Eagle Award at the Venice Bienalle, while his film "Space Oddity" won a Silver Phoenix Award at the Atlanta Film Festival. Ed began his career as a cartoon cell animator for Paramount Pictures in New York, where he animated such legendary characters as "Popeye" and "Casper the Ghost". Seeman's own production company, Gryphon Productions, produced a slew of TV commercials featuring such popular characters as Cocoa Puffs, Sugar Bear (16 years), Flintstones Vitamins, Bullwinkle, My Little Pony, and Trix Rabbit. He has won numerous Cleo Awards, Art Director Awards, and Addy's. In addition, Ed and his partner Ray Favata won an Emmy Award for the animated opening of the children's show "The Great Space Coaster." In the early 1970s Seeman made a handful of unusual adult films under the pseudonym Eduardo Cemano: He first did the offbeat one-day wonders Millie's Homecoming (1971) and The Weirdos and the Oddballs (1971), which was followed by the gloriously bizarre troika of The Healers (1972), Fongaluli (1973) and Madame Zenobia (1973). Moreover, Ed has enjoyed a successful career as a glamor photographer who contributed to such publications as "Cheri", "Penthouse", "Oui", "Genesis" and "Puritan". From 1990 to 2001 Ed Seeman's Animation Productions produced many popular animated TV commercials. Seeman and his wife Amy then formed the cartoon t-shirt company Mana-T's Inc., which produces a wide variety of T-shirts for various retail outlets in Florida. Ed also does digital fine art on both canvas and matted prints. Seeman and Amy both reside in Ocala, Florida.
