Hi,
My name is John Johnson and I have been a huge fan of Don Bluth since I first saw The Secret of Nimh! I am on other animation forums that I really like, and when I found out about this one I had to join! I think it will do very well, and I am glad to be here! I graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in Illustration and Graphic Design. By day, I am the lead artist in the prepress art department of a very successful printing company. It's a good job, but it's not the creative job I always dreamed of. It helps pay the bills and I am happy to have such a good job. I graduated in 1994 from KU and have been in my current position at the printing company for 11 years now. My wife and I adopted our beautiful baby girl Anna 4 years ago, and I love being her Dad!! Between the job and my family it has been hard to keep up with drawing and painting as often as I would have liked over the years since school. Lately, I have wanted more out of my life again. I feel again, like I felt back in school, that strong desire to be creative again. I have always loved Animation and Illustration of all kinds since I was just a little kid. My wife just bought me a copy of Toonboom Studio 4.5 and Flash for Christmas and I am determined to learn them and start drawing and painting again so that I can be creative again. I hope to post some of my art here and (I hope) some animation as I learn the programs.:)
Thanks, John
