I recently finished new banner art (that this teaser is from). I also inked FAT Fridaze Strip 53 (the first strip of my second year of this strip series!! WHEEE!!), but will be taking a break from it to work on something else very exciting!!
I've lived in LA about 5 years now give or take and 3 1/2 of those years have been devoted to the development, creation, collaboration and often fantasy of ripping all my hair out from the stress. This roller coaster has been well worth it, for next week I will finally start the dream job I've been waiting on...
I will finally be working on a cartoon!!!!
A CARTOOOOOOON!!! :D)))
Some people wanted to be Marine Biologists when they were kids (wonder how many stuck with that) others wanted to be an astronaut... I wanted to be a "Cartoonist". At least that was the word I used for it at the time. I felt it encompassed the entire cartoon process: the brainstorming, character design, illustration, coloring, inking, story, script, music, animation, and any other technical aspect I didn't know about. (I didn't really realize that it takes a huge team of people, lot's of money and time to bring all the elements together) Luckily since then I have been working on my own projects and trying to develop all aspects of my childhood idea of Cartoonist. So far I have done all of them except animation and recording music/edtiting etc... and that is something I'm hoping to change this year or next.
I won't be animating but I had the privilege of designing the characters, illustrating and hand coloring everything. I couldn't be more thrilled/blessed!! :)
Thanks so much to Kyle Schember and Wiley Hodgden for giving me this amazing opportunity!! I will work my ass off to make this my best work!!
We have only been picked up for a pilot though, so we will be counting on the viewers to help us get picked up (fingers crossed)
More details soon :)
Thanks guys!
