He attended Art Center College of Design on the G.I. Bill
where he studied extensively with Lorser Feitelson.
On the recommendation of his Art Center classmate and Disney
Legend Eyvind Earle, he was hired at Disney in 1952 to help finish layout on
Peter Pan. His first association with Disney came earlier, when he helped Earle
draw this Golden Book adaptation of Peter Pan. He built up an impressive list
of credits at the studio including assistant art direction on Melody and Toot
Whistle Plunk and Boom, and layout on Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty and
101 Dalmatians.
Vic was one of Tom Oreb’s closest colleagues during the
1950s and they worked together as a team, especially in Disney’s TV commercial
unit.
When Oreb left Disney
to work at John Sutherland Productions, Vic followed. They both soon returned
to Disney to finish Sleeping Beauty, where Vic played a key role in designing
the “Thorn Forest” sequence.
