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.

Yah Mike! Totally pursue the cartoonist path if that's what you enjoy! I can totally relate to the way you feel, sometimes I wonder if I'd be happiest making comics. But I can never really find the time. *sigh*
