Sorry I haven’t been posting on my website.
I had planned to take it down for a while for remodeling, but the remodeling won’t happen for a few good months.
So I thought I’d link you to the place where I am currently active and posting cartoons.
The reason I don’t post anything new on this website is because any animation I wish to add
to the site has to be added through html and that’s a pain in the you-know-what.
The new website will have a better video uploading system, will be more user friendly, and fun to browse through.
Until then, just visit my DEVIANT ART ACCOUNT.
See you later!

I work Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at the hotel. I love to write during this time.
The Outdoor Retailer Convention had us sold out for the entire week.
Front desk was filled with complaints about cold showers in the mornings and slow bandwidth.
(ANY fast connection divided by 150+ people is gonna be pretty bad.)
People left the hotel enraged but came back because other hotels were sold out or too pricey. (lol.)
I did my best to provide the best service I could and hardly got any complaints.
Other hotels had the exact same problems, so I don’t feel too bad.
The hotel is more quiet now, so I can focus on writing again. I love this job.
I finished the second draft of my animated pilot screenplay.
It could be better. I’ll be working on it until I get the strong urge to animate it.
I’m working on the second episode right now and Mario is helping me plan it out.
Mondays are my homework and relaxation days.
I like to watch a movie or two and play a game to inspire me.
I’ve been playing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. The fabled Lollergator let me borrow it. It’s a fun game with pleasing visuals.
The stories are so silly and imaginative. I loved Paper Mario 64, but I haven’t played Super Mario RPG yet.
I plan to tackle that one later. Go play Paper Mario 64. It’s like, 10 bux for the Wii on the virtual console.
Early Tuesday before class, I hang out with my programmer for lunch to talk about
games we’ll be working on after the semester. We also toss ideas back and forth about our screenplays.
After class I visit Mike Iverson to work on our childrens book.
We finished our rough draft. We’ll be touching it up and drawing sketches this Tuesday.
Wednesdays are my miscellaneous days where I finish up some more homework and sharpen
my artistic skillz. I skimmed deviant art like usual recently and I saw this, by Nikkinack.
Pure awesomeness. Then something hit me.
I started looking back at other friends of mine who’ve been drawing for a while
and noticed how much they’ve improved in such a short amount of time.
I looked at my work and realized I haven’t strayed too far from what I originally do.
I felt like I was falling behind, but then something else punched me in the face.
I’ve been focusing on story! I’ve had a lot of people stress the importance of story to me recently.
You can have a great image and it’ll be eye-candy, but if there’s no story behind it then that’s all it’ll ever be.
Speaking of story, I went to the Sundance Film Festival Animated Shorts showing on Saturday afternoon.
I was impressed by most of the animations, but there were some that didn’t really strike me as amazing
story-wise. The one that hit both spots was this short here that you might enjoy.
“Please Say Something” by David Oreilly
There was another one called RUNAWAY by Cordell Barker
Here’s the Making of.
Here’s one that I can’t quite figure out. It was visually interesting and kahrazeh cool.
It’s called “MEAT WAFFLE”
Honestly I felt a little disappointed after the shorts because none of the directors/animators/ showed up.
Which is always a downer. BUT WHATEVER, MAN. They’ve got shizz to do. I know how it is.
I didn’t leave the theater with much. “Runaway” was entertaining and I liked it.
“Meat Waffle” was visually interesting. I’m sure most people were able to relate to “Please Say Something”
and probably left with something on their mind.
Anyway, to wrap up the week I have classes all day on Thursdays.
Storyboarding followed by four hours of table reading in my screenwriting class.
3pm-10pm. I might stay up late and doodle, fall asleep, then go to work.
That’s what my entire schedule looks like nowadays.
I just felt like throwing all this up. You can go back to whatever you were doing now.
Enjoy your week! Peace.

Hey guys!
I hate being all talk and no production, but I think I owe you guys an update.
I have two animations from 2D Traditional Animation that I’ll upload later.
They’re nothing special. I rushed them before I left off to Minnesota.
I finished my first rough draft for my feature length film “Cannon Moose.”
I can’t give out details just yet, but I just want to tell you that I’m not being lazy!
The script is 120 pages of CRAZY. I’ll be cutting it down and polishing it.
During winter break I went to Minnesota. I can’t wait to visit again!
I hope you all had fun holidays and remember to stick to those
resolutions! If you slip up, get back on track!~
“Trio For Hire” is still in the works.
I know I’ve been making promises, but I will deliver!~
You guys have been very patient. <3
Here are my classes for this semester.
Storyboarding
I've always enjoyed storyboarding.
But now I can learn some professional techniques and ways of
directing a story with the powers of COMICS.
Screenwriting 3
I'll be touching up Cannon Moose and making some short screenplays.
Animation Project 1
Making an 11 minute animation. I'm excited!
I didn’t think the animation would be so well received!

And now… BACK TO WORK.
