Thanks and come see me!

Wed Sep 14, 2011, 8:43 AM
I just wanted to say a quick thanks to all the new "watchers" (I like 'friends' better, but I guess FB has that already) that have started watching my DA page in the last couple days.  For some reason, you post a couple Simba drawings and people go nuts!  I got 500 WATCHERS IN ONE DAY!  I saw that number pop up and my eyes bugged out.  We love that Lion King movie still, huh?  I do, that's for sure.  It was a blast to work on it.  I'll have to write a journal about it soon.  So, bad news is that I didn't look ahead to well and just realized I might not be able to post Thurs and Fridays Simba sketch this week!  I am going out of town tonight- to Kenosha, Wisconsin- to be a guest speaker for a Cartoonist Festival they are having there.   On Thurday I will be speaking at Carthage College and doing a radio interview (local public radio) and then on Friday a panel (free and open to the public) with the other cartoonists there on the subject of "Marketing yourself as an artist".  I will be talking about all of you (indirectly) and about the incredible atmosphere here on Deviant Art, for sure!  (Google Kenosha Cartoon Festival for more details).    I hope some of you will be  there!  Mention DA, if you come, I'd like to meet my "watchers"!  (That still sounds terrible.)

AND, for those of you in COSTA RICA, I have been frantically working on renewing my passport this week so I can attend the (I dont' know what it is called) Comic con and animation convention there!  Its the weekend of Oct. 1st.  I don't have many details (which makes me feel uneasy that its still on) but if you are there, I sure I hope I can meet you!  More on that  if I hear anything.

Well, when you advertise yourself with something so popular, people tend to notice you more. :P I had never heard of you or your brother before I found your Lion King pictures, but I always enjoy finding artists who worked on animated features that I love and seeing what else they do in their career. I wanted to be an animator once upon a time, but my life pushed me in every direction other than that one. Never fear, I still enjoy drawing and even more than that, I love watching other artists succeed in the dream I wanted. I wish you the best of luck and patience and motivation in everything that you do, and I only hope other people are just as inspired by you to continue to do what they love. :) I'd give you a hug if I could. *hug*

I suppose everyone's got strict schedules in their lives. Just do your best keeping to it.
