Hello 2012

Happy New Year!

To start the blog off right, here are some Muppet sketches I did. These were so fun to draw! Anyone who knows me knows what a big fan I am. I'll have to show you my studio sometime...

In 2011, I had fun joining in some Illustration Friday topics, took on some great client projects, gained some new Twitter followers and made a bunch of new friends.

In November, I was fortunate enough to fly out and attend the 2011 Creative Talent Network expo in Burbank. I met so many amazing folks from Twitter, Blogger and beyond. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves art/animation and wants to be inspired, attend some great workshops and meet some of the nicest people around. I hope to go again next year!
