HO-HUM...

Well seems like I'm heading in a more "cartoon" like direction now in my career which is making me more happy. Though the problem I face now is coming up with funny comics and that's pretty hard...perhaps I'll re-draw some of the ones I've done already. Anyways, I'm working on a small comic for the studio to describe the whole animation process from idea to reel. It's pretty neat, I should be finished sometime this week and I'll post it if I can (gotta talk to da boss on that one).

Anyhoo, I better keep at 'er and make some more cartoons to post...

Coffee warms the Soul

I was thinking about this one while lining up for my morning coffee at Timmy's (you know what establishment I'm talking about) and it occurred to me a thought of the bread lines in Moscow. It struck me as funny so I made this little piece about it. I don't know if I captured the line aspect of it but I got the Canadian part right, there's always someone making a crack about how cold it is outside. It's Canada, it's winter, it's supposed to be cold...get over it!

Cartoonyness

I've been thinking about a career change recently...

I'm not entirely happy working in the animation industry, lately it's been trying and uninspiring. I thought about when am I most happy? and the usual answer is in doodles I make during the worse points of my day when shit has hit the fan in productions. Not that I'm going to just quit my job, but I defiantely would like to pursue a cartoonist career. Maybe this is one of those "don't quit your day job" ideas, but I should figure out something to move towards now. I really hate office type environments and the higher you get involved inside a studio the more of a desk jockey you become. Meetings, post-it notes and performance reviews...it all makes me sick. I don't want to rant but how many monkey's need to be on peoples backs in the animation industry? I thought it was just a bunch of guys having some fun and making people laugh with some silly little cartoons...maybe it was, but it isn't now and probably never will be.

Anyways, I hope I'll start something this week and just start posting my doodles/cartoon captions. We'll see how it all works out in the end, but something defiantly needs to change because I can't stay unhappy at work forever.
