Not Making It
Growing up, the most frustrating thing with not being a professional artist was that nobody else could see my work. I wanted to put on a show, make people laugh, tell them stories and the movies wouldn’t have me. The comic syndicates wouldn’t have me. My heroes at the Walt Disney Studios wouldn’t have me.
Given mainstream media did not pan out to be a home for me I went into independent comics, television animation (where the standards were much lower than features) and video games. These were all compromises, to some degree, but they were profitable and fun. It didn’t matter, because feature work would come. It just didn’t come the way I expected.Fast forward to the internet age and the greatest frustration that I knew growing up as an artist is gone for most of this generation’s artistry. If I didn’t get a paper to publish me in 1980, you wouldn’t know about my work. But if I had the internet to publish my comic for free, I might remain poor but I would have an audience! And the audience is what it’s all about.
Given you’re reading this in 2015 and not 1980 you should be thankful that you have the world’s greatest distribution arm at your fingertips right now. You can animate, write, draw and communicate and the biggest limitation isn’t some big goon in an office stopping you from reaching your audience. You are your biggest limitation. I like those odds.

They’re making Hannibal evil… I shoulda seen this coming but still…
I was hoping he’d be an anti-hero at least.
HE EATS PEOPLE
a legendary post
Sometimes I wonder if Hannibal fans are watching the same show as me or if they are actually cannibals…

Hi guys! Sorry for being so inactive lately, but this semester I have been working on my senior thesis. For this final project I decided to do my own rendition of the folk tale, Hansel & Gretel, but as imagined as an animated film! I will be uploading some more stuff in the coming days, but this is the bulk of it :) Enjoy!

- So thank you very much once again. It does mean a huge amount to me. I am sorry I can’t be there with you, I’m actually filming at the moment. But have a fantastic evening, and thank you again.

frustration-man: Hello Meredith! as a cartoon lady, how do you spend your average day? How much time do you put on your comics each day, how do you manage your time? Thank you :)
Hi! I haven’t talked about time management in a while, so here goes.
I wake up at 7:30 and start work around 9:30 most days. I work from home. I take about an hour for lunch. I generally stop work at dinner time or evening gym time. Then I’ll watch a movie or go out. I get to bed around midnight.
My week is very regimented. Barring extreme workloads or personal disruptions, it’ll go:
- three evening gym trips
- two mornings at the dog park
- one day of teaching
- one day every 2 weeks of bulk grocery/supply shopping
- one session every 2 weeks of figure drawing
- one day of thorough housekeeping
- one day off from work*
*generally the first thing to go
I spent many years early in my comics life working ‘til the wee hours of the morning, finding my health difficult to maintain, shirking my social life, feelin’ bad, and being unproductive to boot. I have ADHD and I spend a lot of time weeding out the distractions and productively modifying my behavior.
Some tips:
- eat at home, and don’t eat garbage. I know no comics kid will ever listen to me on this one, but I’ll keep trying. Keep a fridge well-stocked with good meals and snacks you can make whenever. Costco (I’m a fan!) and bulk groceries will save you money and trips to the store. Learn to keep and store and maintain fresh food.
- when it gets busy, lose everything you can before diet, exercise, and housekeeping. If you feel bad and your work/life space is dirty, you won’t work well.
- make a daily list - a realistic one - and stick to it. Finish the list as often as you can. This is a way to positively reinforce your productive habits. If you almost never finish your list, your list is too long.
- in addition to daily lists, keep a calendar of your month, complete with deadlines and breakdowns of what you’ll be doing each week. In your first draft, leave room for a couple days or lost work. They happen!!
- when your day seems impossible, it probably is. Lose one obligation and feel the cool wave of relief wash over you…. ~*AHHHH*~
- on exhausting days, make no promises. I never commit to intense work on a Thursday after class. I know I’ll be cooked when I get home – why commit to a weekly sesh of disappointing myself?
- make time for breaks. Schedule them in and earn them. Maintain your friendships and leave the house. There is nothing cool and romantic about being “the busy guy”.
- consume media other than comics and cartoons. I’m always baffled with students’ lack of influences. Is this time management? I’m not sure, but it’s part of a healthy diet like anything else. Good influences will energize you….. CREATIVELY.
I know folks who do good work without this shit, but it’s all been invaluable to me with my compulsions and tendency for distraction. As my body ages and I have less energy for late nights and marathons, I need it even more. It took many years to build a routine like this. Work on yours bit by bit, and stick to what works. Here’s to a happy freelance home life!
