[andrew sharp]

Cool you found a voice for your character. By the way repost up your drawings from the seminar Don and Dave didn't go over them because you were not there. Also there are notes at the end of this weeks seminar :)It would be cool to hear your characters voice :)

[lavallelee]

very cool! I want to see the episodes!

Don suggested to study Bambi, specifically the scene when Bambi's mother dies for the staging. Here is the silhouette from that scene.

[andrew sharp]

Cool like how you have things organized got to ger me a pencil holder like that.

[Rodney]

Seeing all your storyboards pinned up like that brings one word to mind...

A lot of cartoon character can only hope to get to that stage.
Exciting times for Chick 'n Slice! :)

[KayMartha12]

[lavallelee]

Lavalle these Freddy drawings are looking really good. I see a lot of improvement. Keep up your drawing routine, its awesome.

BTW, I love the expression in that last one.

[KayMartha12]

I always like the looseness of your lines. Do you use a big paper? (like 12 by 16 at the least).

I actually just use 8x11 printer paper for my practice and sketches. I only use animation paper when I animate to conserve. :D

Some Jay doodles!

I wanted to post this news in my gallery too!

Check it out everyone!!!! Last month I did two presentations at the International Animation Film Festival in Savannah, GA. One with Les and one by myself!

http://www.flashcartoons.org/preview/crackerlandscreen.jpg

1. "Crackerland" About the cartoon I am working on with my co-creator Les Carpenter. We want to animate/make it in Orlando, FL. After all it's about a theme park in Florida. We want to make it with many Disney animators & professionals that are here in Orlando!
http://www.crackerland.com/2012/04/success-crackerland-pitch-at-siaf-2012.html (Be sure to like our show!) http://www.facebook.com/crackerland

2. My second presentation was about earning a living online with Flash Cartoons and marketing yourself. Also I am writing a book on this subject, already have THREE chapters written.

These presentations where recorded and soon you guys & girls can see them! It was so cool talking to college kids & animators. I really would like to do more festivals! Ill show more pictures of the second presentation soon. They had professional photographers there, I can't wait to see those images. The ones we have are from our phones. :)

Here is a picture of me doing the second presentation teaching about Flash! I can't wait to see these videos!
