Animation Time! - Houdini Rig

Today's Inspiration:
It's not the easy way out - ... if there's not blood sweat and tears in it, it's less valid to me.

In order to be an artist you have to be really diligent with your time and be very focused and not get sidetracked.

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.
