Animation Time - Care Bot

Today's Inspiration:


Drawn to Life -

"Your mental and emotional processes are what motivates you and without motivation you would accomplish noting. And without enthusiasm, motivation would atrophy before you could make a quick sketch. Your mind is like a projector - whatever you choose to put into it is what will be seen on the screen (the choice is yours and yours alone). The switch is motivation and the electricity (power) that keep the whole show moving along is enthusiasm."

Animation Time - Samurai Jet Rig!

Today's Inspiration:


Indeed, it is very far from accurate to say that we see with our eyes. The eye is blind but for the idea behind the eye.

The hand is thought of as the slave of action. But the slave of action is the master of expression.
