GO SEE THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW!
When I was a kid I wanted to be an animator, but I went to art school and my teacher told me cartoons were a waste of time and I was wasting my parents money studying art. What a cunt. If she could have opened my mind to the possibilities that lie before me who knows where I'd be today? Imaging the world with out the breezy character designs of Chuck Jones, or the perfectly captured balance between realistic movement and cartoon perfection that is Freddy Moore's "Sorcerors Apprentice" redesign of Mickey Mouse. The beautiful background designs and color stylings of Mary Blair from "Alice in Wonderland" and "Cinderella", or Eyvind Earl's background work from "Sleeping Beauty." How life is captured and rendered so beautifully in "Bambi", and how the artists at UPA boiled it down to its barest essentials and created a graphic style all their own that is unique to the field of animation? Tell me its not art!

Television:

My Name Is Earl
The Office
Fox News Channel
Simpsons
Rescue Me
That's about it.
I listen to a lot of radio... basically I wake up with Opie & Anthony, move on to Rush LImbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin... then I usually fall asleep listening to Ron & Fez

Books:

Hitchhiker's Guide ... Conservative Politics (Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity) ... Biographies ...

Heroes:

Anyone with the guts to stand up and be counted, to do something that matters to them, and makes a difference in the lives of their friends, family, and total strangers.
I try to surround myself with amazing people, and I have had a few successes... and some spectacular failures.
