# About me
I am an artist. One day I would also like to become an author/illustrator of children's books and comic books. My art bears a resemblance to Disney movies, like The Emperor's New Groove, Mulan, and Home on the Range. I like drawing with pencil, colored pencils, and in Illustrator on the computer. I draw in my head a lot.I'm also good at picturing scenes from whatever movie I watch in my head. I can memorize the actions, sounds, etc. I can also take sounds, actions, etc. from one movie and edit it (in my head) into another movie. When I watch a movie, I can recognize sounds, illustrations, voices, etc. that were used in other movies that are the same as in the one I'm watching. It is like I have a library in my head of movie clips, sounds, etc. I like to edit things the way I think they should be, rather than the way the editor made them.
I also like to collect clips for PhotoShop. I'm very visual. I have some trouble with speaking and stammer a little bit, but I enjoy conversations about movies and cartoons. I also love stop-motion and I made one on Youtube called the Frog Prince. I gave that up because I'd rather be a storybook author. I wrote a book that is a spoof of Little Red Riding Hood called Little Red Flying Hood. I will put the images on this website.
I have a disability. It is called autism. It is when I sometimes have strange habits like drawing in the air or talking to myself out loud, like a character in a movie. In fact, I love movies. My favorite movies are usually animated.
I hope you enjoy my work.

You're welcome. But I apologize for forgetting. Which one of your pictures (exactly) did I add to favorites? Or did you take a picture of mine, add it to favorites, and leave a comment?

Hello Ben! It's ThePastHappened, from my other account. By the way, I am actually now able to do Rusingoryx. It should be coming up soon. Thanks for the suggestion also! <3

You're welcome. Oops! I forgot. I already commented. Oh well. It's the thought that counts.

I like your style! It looks like it would work perfectly as an animated kids' show!

Really? Why thank you. I am flattered. But I'm afraid it's too early for me to make a kids' show. Besides, one reason I wanted to be an author of my own books is because I don't want anyone but those who are close to me to make any changes to whatever story I write and/or illustrate, unless there are logical reasons to do so. Sometimes the outcome of changing how a story was made within a book can make the movie/tv series version turn out to be a poor cash-grab (even when they want to make it into a live-action movie when animation would have worked better). Take "The Cat in the Hat" for example (even though I didn't think it was the worst live-action movie ever made).

Ah, I see, and I understand! I was just saying that it looks like the visual style of an animated show.

Oh. Okay. I am sorry. I hope I wasn't being TOO DEFENSIVE.

Hi Melissa. I'm sorry I didn't respond. I didn't think you would send me messages on this website. I was much more used to texting you or leaving comments on your Facebook posts.
