Animation Time! - Fazee Rig


Today's Inspiration:
Love thy art, poor as it may be, which thou hast learned, and be content with it, thyself neither the tyrant nor the slave of any man... I wouldn't put it quite like that but we would mean the same thing.

Today's Inspiration:
the imagination can conceive of infinite possibility and grasp
an alternative vision where hope remains undimmed
