I was watching bugs bunny cartoons the other day! I love the
old Bob Clampet stuff!So much fun.What I realized is that there is no
perfection in the animation. There are all kinds of weird things going on and
being done just to get a laugh out of the viewer.
Like one second a horse might have hooves and the next he
has hands!
They really played! The artists just had fun and were
creative. They were themselves! Sometimes the cartoons barely even had a story.
Characters would commit suicide and then sit up and address the viewer. One
scene bugs bunny gives a dog a gun and encourages him to kill himself! WHAT!
Insanity!
Reminds me how much I just love cartoons.
My mom told me this story once about how when I was a kid,
she asked my uncle to baby sit for her. So he did! Little did he know that this
3 year old was an insane cartoon maniac!!He was so mad at her because she dropped me off and I told him I wanted
to watch cartoons, but there were no cartoons on tv. So I screamed and cried
the entire time he was babysitting me because I wanted to watch cartoons! He
was so mad when my mom returned that he told her he would never babysit me ever
again!
HAHA! Sometimes I guess you are just born with it.

So I finally got my daily sketches back up and running. I just havent been posting them here that is all. I am in the process of overhauling everything. I want a new look to the blog and my website as well.
If you want to check out the Daily Sketches they have been getting posted on my Deviantart page.
I am working on my confidence.It’s hard when you’ve been down a long time,
to find ways to pick yourself up. But, I believe it’s possible. I think I
realized that most people are a work in progress when it comes to confidence. It’s
all about learning to like who and what you are. Every individual I meet is at
their own level and trying to rise.
I use to get self-conscience if a person would say, “hey I
like that drawing,” cause I felt like just saying thank you was like being
egotistical. Then one day I realized its actually common courtesy to thank
someone for a compliment.
I also spent a lot of years trying to encourage other people
and giving advice to make them feel better about themselves and their work
while trying to fade into the background to let the other person shine. Why,
because I didn’t feel I deserved to shine, or like I was good enough to shine
like everyone else.Unfortunately this
post isn’t just about art. It’s also about living in general. It’s just a bad
attitude that has invaded my art career and started to reflect itself on the
decision I have been making. Not in a good way.
Like for example, getting a job interview at that dream job
and then having to go in and sell yourself and talk yourself up to the employer
and convince them that you are going to be a great asset to their
business.How do you convince an
employer you are awesome when you actually don’t consider yourself to be
awesome!
Just showing a great portfolio isn’t enough. A lot of people
have great portfolios. Reminds me of the tv series Evangalion. I loved that
show. There is a seen where Asuka is yelling at Shinji about not ever even
loving himself.
Shinji runs into the room and Asuka is sitting at a table
with her head down.He is begging and
pleading with her to love him and to help him. She stands up and pushes him
down. He goes into a rage throwing tables and chairs and screaming and her
reply is no. In the end Shinji just needed to recognize he needed to do it for
himself.
This clip is subbed, but still very intense. Probably more
intense in Japanese than English but I will post both.
Second clip is longer:Enjoy!
My new years resolution. Learn to love
myself and treat myself well. The same as I do for others. I quote from the
bible.
Romans 13:9
New International Version (NIV)
9 The commandments, “You shall not commit
adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not
covet,”[a] and whatever other command there may be,
are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
I think this is a double ended statement now.I have started to see something else in it.
How can you treat others like you want to be treated and you love others like
you want to be loved when you can’t even love being you. Is loving yourself the
beginning ofhaving confidence? I think so.
I also think it is the key to knowing how to love others. Other people, and how
they treat us, is a reflection of how we treat ourselves isn’t it?
No seriously! Everyday I am expected to get out there and get my hustle on! One of the requirements of a caricature artists especially in the slow season is to try and bring in new customers as best as we can. This last week we started a $5 off sale on the black and whites and what ends up happening is we get more customers wanting to take advantage of the sale.
Anyway, I generally like to practice to draw attention when things are slow. here is a recent one I did. This would have been Justin Beiber but a lady walked by and saw me drawing him and wanted the drawing for her daughter in Australia! So she bought it just as I was finishing it! Oh Yeah!
Anyway, did this pic of Rihanna. she is wearing sun glasses so it makes her seem like she could be anyone. I need to get a better picture.
