Animation Time! - G79 Rig


Today's Inspiration:
I have an idea of what I want my pictures to look like in my head and if they don't match up, I find it frustrating.

I always aspire ... to create a layered experience that readers of varying age, interest, visual acuity and life experience can potentially dip into.

Animation Time! - Jeeves Rig


Today's Inspiration:
Inexperience. I think the more inexperienced you are, the more in control you think you have to be. The more experience you have, you realize you don't have to be in control.

Who cares about the puppet and craft? It's not about that. It's about compelling an audience, and touching an audience in some way.

I don't look back, I just go forward.
