MUPPET ME

I'm getting pretty excited for The Muppets and thought I need to update my profile picture on here, so I drew me as a muppet.

ONE OF MY FAVORITES

The beginning of 101 Dalmatians is one of my favorite sequences of animation ever. The whole movie is beautiful, but this opening is pretty much perfection, in my humble eyes. Truth of the matter is I wanted to post this here to share with a friend (Hope this helps, Gin!), but now, everyone can check it out! Classics like this never get old to watch.

CORGIS ON THE COUCH

CORGI

"DRAW, GOD DAMNIT!"

My former Cal-Arts animation and life drawing teacher, Corny Cole, used to tell that to me in class. He was an amazing teacher, he had so much life, that he constantly challenged you to stay sharp. Almost challenging you to prove your passion for animation at every corner with an attitude saying "Oh yeah! You LOVE animation?! THEN F#CKING PROVE IT!" During my forth year, he would ask me to describe a specific principle of animation, and after I correctly defined it, he would tell me, in a clever challenging tone, "I don't believe you. Prove it. Show it." On the spot, I would animate in front of him something to prove that I correctly knew the principle. I loved every second of it. Corny has recently passed away, but his passion for animation lives on through every student and artist he inspired. Thanks, Corny! You helped me raise my passion for animation higher than I thought was possible. You're an unforgettable character and make sure to tell them on the other side to "DRAW, GOD DAMNIT!"

"WE GOTTA GET THAT BEAR IN A CAGE."

 

I'm in love with this photo.
