Everyone gets asked this question. Usually in 2nd grade and usually the answer is always the same. Fireman. Police Officer. And more recently...Hannah Montana. I was always a weird kid. Whenever I was growing up I never actually had to explain what my picture was. Granted...the heads on whatever I drew were always friggen HUUUUGE, but you still got the idea. I said point blank at that age, "I want to be a cartoonist."
Now, this has changed over the years. Well, more my definition of the term. I always imagined it more of a comic strip like Garfield or the amazing Calvin & Hob
bes (and oh yes, I do have
this).
Later on I still wanted to be a cartoonist but more in the sense of an illustrator. I started looking into artists that are so talented and thought provoking you cant help but hate it or love it.
Every now and then I want to show some people whose work I one day aspire to be like, while creating my own niche. Luke Chueh and Joe Ledbetter are two of them. I start classes on Jan 12 to hopefully get paid to travel around the world and make awesome pictures. Coolest job ever? I think so! Hopefully other people think my shit is good enough. Once I have something worth posting of my own on here, I will.
