About Me

What the hell can I possibly type here? Seriously if you're adding me as a friend you probably know something about me or you just enjoyed the pictures. I'm somewhat of a cartoonist, but I don't have the patience/time to animate anything these days. Honestly even if I have the time I find it hard to sit down and physically draw everything out. That doesn't keep me from constantly coming up with ideas for animated series/shorts.

Here's a little animated short that I did. Now it may or may not work depending on your browser/computer.

Some New Sketches

Lately what I've been doing is drawing in flash with the paintbrush set to the smallest setting and the movie at 100%. With this you can get some pretty interesting line types. I've been mostly drawin...
