Animation Time! - Businessman Rig

Today's Inspiration:
It is the organ of his sense of wonder and wonder can be stirred not only by the strange and new, but by rediscovering the accustomed. In fact the value of the artist's gift centers about the fact that he sees what other people see, but he sees in an enhanced way.

Animation Time! - Cube Rig

Today's Inspiration:
The thing that’s most important is drawing and learning how to draw better, or painting and learning how to paint better. So, how could an artist retire? I go to museums and I study a lot of art, it’s the only thing I know how to do. So, that’s what gets me up every morning and that’s why I’m still alive.

This thing about creating and being an artist and being a cartoonist is the most important thing we have: you, me, anyone else. There are other things more important, but that’s what we love. Now, how much money we make at it and how much we suffer is different for everybody, regardless of talent and that’s the way life is, it’s not fair. But if you [ever] give up drawing or painting or learning more about the arts, you’re hurting yourself because that’s all we really are.
