Reevaluating

In the Art and Story podcast this week they brought up an interesting point about frequent reevaluation, and with the amount of projects I have on my plate at anyone time this is definitely something I'm going to have to do. I have about 3 months worth of backlogged sketchbooks that I need to get up, and I also have 2 books that I need to get off the ground. This episode was definitely worth a listen for anyone who has any project they want to get done.

Pump You Up!

Here's this weeks entry for AM's sketchgroup, our theme was "The Working Droid!"

Find Inspiration in Everything!

I've been listening to a lot of Art and Story and I've also been reading through Avatar the last Airbender the Art of the Animated Series. One thing I've really picked up on is how much the creators talk about other things they're interested in and how that always inspires their work or at least their other hobbies seep into and influence their art. So, I challenge you to do the same. Find Inspiration in Everything!

Today's devastation is financial!

Love it, Just Love it!

Eric Goldberg has got to be one of the most inspiring influences on me art wise that is still alive. He's the mastermind behind such animated greats as the Genie, Louis, the Rhapsody in Blue segment from Fantasia 2000, and like a million other animated greats. Anyways he was asked this week what advice he had for people just getting into animation, and his response was simple and perfect, "Love it, just love it!"

Almost at the end of Devastation double week and, so much Devastation is just depressing.
