Can the Past Give Way to the Future?
I had an art teacher who told me to throw away all of my old drawings (or give them away), even the ones I thought were my best.

What If My Dreams Don't Come True?
There's a lot of commotion and influx going on in the animation industry and the entertainment industry as a whole. Many animators and visual effects artists have been given a pink slip as of late and jobs are becoming more and more scarce. This leads to a lot of speculation as to where the industry Read More...
A Love Letter To Your Creativity
This year is remarkably coming to a close. It's been an incredible year, but it seems the older we get the shorter the years get and the less time we're afforded to do the things we love to do.

How Batman Kept Me From Going Nuts
I just finished watching Apocalypse Now and it made me feel a little crazy. It's not a bad movie, but being around people on the edge of insanity and those that are full blown nuttier than a squirrel poop (for 2.5 hours) can get to you. So I mustered the strength to do a little sketching (starring B Read More...
3 Reasons You Need "Why Not" People In Your Life
Since I was a little kid, I've dreamed big. Along the way I've met those that have strengthened my creative resolve and those who have put me down for one reason or another, including a teacher. To some degree that level of negativity exists till this day as aspire to reach my dreams and goals. What Read More...
