Animation Time! - Mortimer Rig

Today's Inspiration:
I’m one of those illustrators who will remained strapped to the drawing for days on end if somebody doesn’t stop me

Keep at it!  Draw what you love, not what you think others will like or what's in vogue.

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.
