# About me

24, male, aspiring animator. I feel isolated a lot of the time, and the task of trying to become a traditional animator seems insurmountable. But I have to keep striving for it because I just love art and animation too much to give up. And it's not all hard work and isolation. Art is a ton of fun! And I love all the artists who I've gotten to work with and call my friends over the past few years. Heres to many more to come and lots more to learn, as well as tons of fun to be had!

Favourite genre of music: Indie
Favourite style of art: Animation/Comic
Operating System: Snow Leopard/Lion
MP3 player of choice: Ipod Touch
Favorite cartoon character: Mickey Mouse/Buster Bunny
Personal Quote: It all works out in the end.

Thanks for the watch! Hope you enjoy the work! :) (Smile)

Oh man, and good luck in animation! The one thing I hear over and over is never think you're "too old" for anything. It's really about the skill, passion, and dedication to keep at it.

wooliewardon In reply to HeroGear [2012-10-27 05:27:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah man, I really like your work. I think I found you from a post you put on ChrisOatley.com. Artists gotta stick together.
Thanks for the encouragement. I think you're right! We just gotta have goals and never give up! Eventually we'll make it :) (Smile) And I love it too much to give up anyway.
Good luck in your own art pursuits, man!

WELL. I have a very old wacom, to be honest. I got mine about... psh, 6 years ago XDD But I know bamboos are very nice. I would like to get one myself.

Cool, thanks for the tip. I guess it doesn't matter so much how good your tablet is...at least, not as much as it matters how good you are, heh. The tool is only as good as the artist who controls it!

Yeah! It's been a while. Things are going alright. Still at school for media com, but I took a drawing class, and am now in painting and figure drawing. Growing a lot in my drawing ability, I think (I hope). How have you been?
