I was discussing this issue with friends. It's frustrating when I'll hear some people get mad that their shows get cancelled yet they were watching or downloading it illegally and those views and downloads, now in the MILLIONS these days, don’t count for a show’s ratings at all!

Here's some visuals from a pitch deck I did for a show idea I had a year ago! Sadly, it didn't go anywhere but who knows, maybe one day... I might upload the whole pitch deck some day as well.

I was chatting with some buddies last night about staying positive about the current status of the animation industry and I made this joke. If you're in animation, I'm pretty sure you know what I'm saying.

Here's my response for my last post. Honestly the fact it blew up like this is kinda CRAZY to me. I'm aware of the current climate in animation, I'm currently LIVING IT! I'm just covering how piracy can affect ratings for shows.

If your favorite shows get cancelled, downloading them for free doesn’t help. You must buy the seasons, DVDs, and other official merch to show support. Anyways, if you wanna add to my preachy rant feel free haha!

Yup! I'm currently starting work on my NEXT BOOK! So if you have any questions you might want answered in the book, then ask away! Also, if you want a "physical copy" add that to your comment as well. I want to see if there is enough people to put in a order for books.

These were literally the emotions, thoughts, and things that happened that led to me to drawing this comic, as a mixed black man. You can read the whole thing here:

I've always thought these characters looked similar. And my buddy @MainEvent_Toons thinks I look like an adult version of both of them. So for science, I drew it out. You peeps look like any cartoon characters?

It's crazy! I've been paying off student debt since 09! I finally pay it off and nothing special happens! I mean I remember struggling just to make a payment in the past and would get called constantly by the loan company, but I finally pay it off and nothing!

I figured people enjoyed my storyboarding ebook so thought I'd make one for character design. So for real, let me know if you'd be interested and what would you like to know. I'll answer to the best of my abilities. I will be reading every comment!

I'm designing a college art student and I remember I got pretty heavy in college. I entered pretty thin since I played high school soccer, but you know stress eatting, no sport teams, eatting fast food to get back to work, and healthy food being expensive led me to a number 1!

I've had this idea for a story where a college art student has to teach a monster/demon how to be an artist. In exchange, the student gets to live. Would you be interested in reading a comic like that? These designs are not final, just a quick sketch.

Who would've guessed the same brain that thinks up goofy cartoony stuff would think of the opposite right? I mostly drew this up to clear my mind. I've had to put my head down and work hard for a lot of my career and overcome some rough patches in life. I'll just have to keep on.

I get this question quite a bit. So I figured, why not walk you artists whole are aiming to be storyboard artist, character designers, and animators thru it. You guys can volunteer your own characters if you want!

I'll be talking about this process on stream tonight! I get the questions, "how can I push my poses and character proportions?," quite a bit. So I thought I'd go over how I use shape silhouettes to design characters. (There's one panel missing, check IG.)

This was my FIRST PITCH DECK I made back in 2013 for the Nickelodeon shorts program. 3 years before I worked for the big studios, 5 years before I worked for Nick. I found out you could pitch online last minute and made a pitch in 2 DAYS! (Not including the "Extra Art" page)

I'm brainstorming stories and I was curious if you prefer kid/teen characters or adults as the main protagonists? For example depending on what age Mixxie meets Fil the robot here will affect their dynamic, chemistry, and even their origin of meeting.
