Louie Comic Rough Draft
Below you can see the rough draft for the comic I have been working on. Let me know what you think. I know what you're thinking, you're saying "Man! Whuz up with this sucka? He be going to animation skoo not no comic skoo!" Let me say in my defense that I decided to create this short comic for a couple of reasons.
1) to improve my drawing skills.
2) To improve my storytelling skills.
3) It sound like a lot of fun.
So there you go. Please critique the poop out of it, don't hold anything back. I would especially love to get some help with dialogue. Me no write too good.

Animation Planning
I haven’t been animating as much as I would like lately. So to get me in shape for Animation Mentor in January I thought I better do a couple of simple animation exercises. For my first exercise I want to do a box step. Here are some quick character planning notes for my current animation exercise.
Hatchet Jack: (This name comes from a story a family friend used to tell my brothers and me over the campfire to try and scare us. Hatchet Jack was a homicidal dentist who wore a necklace of human teeth.)
• Jack is single and in his 30s. He graduated near the top of his class from Berkeley with a degree in Economics (that means he is smarter than I am). After graduating he got a job in a large accounting firm and soon became a CPA.
• Even though Jack is book smart he lacks common sense.
• Jack has lots of friends but not many close friends.
• He is very good at doing what he is told but not very creative (which is very good trait for an accountant).
• He fears the outdoors, spiders, car mechanics (or any handyman), and heights.
• His goal in life is to marry the woman of his dreams, make a safe amount of money and retire comfortably by the age of 55.
• Favorite TV shows: The amazing race, Friends (owns the complete DVD collection), football and basketball.
• Loves to workout at the gym, play basketball, Mexican food, and the Gap.

Why Blog?
With all the blogs out there these days why should I spend my energy producing a blog of my own? What will I get out of blogging? The answer is simple, I want a blog to help organize, categorize, and share my experiences as I become an animator. I also want a place where I can share my works in progress. This blog is a place to share my passions and how they affects me.
