#7 – Blogger Beat Down: “Cartoons Are In My Blood”
I love me some cartoons man. Obviously when you're growing up, you have to love them and any kid that doesn't have a favorite cartoon probably lives in the cellar. You see that thing up there? That's a little something I'm working on that gives me some control of things. I don't have a controlling personality but creating cartoons is one way that let's me have control of what I want.
Earlier this year I had to take a animation course which got me familiar with different types of software. I've been working with open source, programs which is the way to go. At this point in technology, we're able to do a lot with very little. This reminds me of how we have so many options now to connect with other people through these programs.
The other thing is the fight against the entertainment industry. You success is in their hands but we have to take that back so making things like cartoons are the way to go.
As with most of this stuff, I get frustrated with people not using software that clearly improves their writing or understanding of other people. I encourage people to use translation software for instance, to read each other's sites. I've been fortunate to use this to my advantage lately. It gives me more insight into how things are. Other topics I touched on recently is the changing of the 'redskins' name, my constant frustration with dumb people and more thoughts about the 'Garden of Eden', which gives you a better perspective of the open Idea I had yesterday.
Btw, those cartoons of the mid twentieth century did touch on a lot of political themes. I wonder if I could make some toons that do the same thing? Hmmmmm...
