andymation - I love this animation. It’s like a Friday night in Ol’ San Antone…all the way up to that logo, anyhow…

If andymation’s "Taco Bell Ad" is Friday nights in ol’ San Antone, then tabitha’s taco still life is a lovely Sunday afternoon at the park…maybe even followed by a lil’ kickball…

All qinchin needs is a ballpoint pen to illustrate the best part of fighting: Making Up. Aww…

Johnny Crass has a remedy for that ring of fire that "burns burns burns." His relief is "like sitting on a sno-cone on a July afternoon in Memphis!" Once he’s recouperated, I think he should collaborate with The Butthole Surfers…

ZekeySpaceyLizard counters Johnny Crass’s cure with a cure of her own: Ibuprofen. Take two and call us in the morning.

Check out JoeyCee’s 4 Eyed Animation reel for some rich colors and kooky characters - don’t worry, you only need two eyes to see it!

Ron Noble’s can-do attitude has taken him all the way to the Cannes International Film Festival in France – and made his animation Hope Springs Eternal (aka "Mort) eligible for an Oscar nomination. He’s just finished his first children’s book, is working on securing the role of director in a $40 million animation, and continues to work on his upcoming animation, The Legend of Twisted Tree. His group, Animation Army, continues to level the playing field, bringing CEOs and students together in collaborative harmony. Their next meeting will be held at the Writer’s Boot Camp in Venice, CA.

Words of advice to his fellow community?

• Keep it funny - The Looney Tunes animation crew at Warner Bros. Termite Terrace only worried about making themselves laugh.
• Good animations have a way of finding their own audience, no matter how "inappropriate" they appear to be to the mass audience. Look at Beavis & Butt-Head!
• It’s got to be dynamic…You have to exaggerate everything – otherwise, there’s no sense in animating it.
• You gotta finish whatever scene you’re working on before you can judge how good it is…always go all the way to the end before you scrap it.
• Watch a LOT of animation….be a sponge, absorb as much information as possible and squeeze it back out.
• Software allows anyone to leapfrog – use it!
• Most importantly – Make stuff! Get out there! Go! The more animation we have out there, the cooler the world will be!
