20 Reasons It’s Hard To Live With An Animator (by Tania Vincent)
1. There’s no envelopes/ scraps of paper/ important documents in your house that haven’t been doodled on.
2.You are the only adults without kids in line at every children’s film.
3.When they talk about keys they don’t mean locking up the house.
4.There’s more DVD’s’ in your house than your local ‘Blockbusters’
5.Your house has so many toys in it that people assume you have children and If you do have children they aren’t allowed to touch the toys.
6. 90% of their wardrobe has cartoons on it.
7. You not only know the director of every Pixar film but also their hobbies and what they look like.
8. The sentence ‘Crunch Time’ fills you with dread.
9. Not only do they have more books than any other person but each one weighs the same as a small elephant.
10. They don’t actually read any of them
11. Polar Express scares them more than ‘Friday the 13th’
12. They’re amazing at pictonary but carry on drawing even after you’ve guessed it.
13. You don’t really know what ‘MoCap’ is but if you ever like a cartoon that has it they’ve threatened to leave you.
14.They can spend 25 minutes looking at one drawing.
15. They know every line from The Simpsons/ Family Guy/South Park/ Star Wars (delete where applicable)
16.Sometimes you talk for 40 minutes before realising they’ve been quoting a film the whole time.
17.When they talk about Easter eggs they are never referring to the chocolate ones.
18. 5 minutes into a film they know the entire plot.
19. You didn’t know a human could drink that much coffee/tea/ red bull
20.They can sit and giggle to themselves for 20 minutes at ‘the way that bird walks’
Yup… it’s THAT simple!

Ron Clements & John Musker Working on Disney's Next Hand-drawn Animated Feature
A big collective cheer came from hand-drawn animation fans as Disney’s Animation Research Library confirmed on its facebook page that Ron Clements and John Musker are working on Disney’s next hand-drawn animated film. Although, that’s all they could reveal about the project.
As listed above, Ron and John are the legendary team that have brought many Disney 2D-animated classics to life since the ’80s. We’re beyond excited to hear this news for two reasons: 1) Disney’s has more hand-drawn animated films in the works (meaning the medium is not dead) and 2) Disney has put this project is good, seasoned hands.
Unfortunately, nothing more is known about this project: no name, no plot, no release date, no nothing! Most likely the project is still very early in the pipeline and won’t be released until at least after 2014. Most likely if they were further along, Disney would have revealed more info about the project at CinemaCon like they did with Wreck-It Ralph and Pixar did with its upcoming features.

Yay!!!!!!!
I’m catching up on my Sketch-A-Thon posts. I just came out of a crazy couple weeks at work, so I have plenty of catching up to do.
This is the post for Noise. When I got the theme I IMMEDIATELY thought of my favorite transformer Soundwave. This is just a sketch for what I hope to turn into a fully polished illustration at some point. He’s always been on my list of characters to draw… and I had to make sure I included Ravage & Laserbeak. Really looking forward to polishing this one up soon!
When hearing the word “Body Clock” this was the first thing I thought of. Just a woman passing by a mother and her baby, and her “body clock” alarm going off!
Half way though way drawing I realized I didn’t relate it to a villain… soooooo maybe this mother uses this baby to lure her victims in?!later; need to move forward… life is busy and I want to keep up with the sketches!!
