Things are simpler in the woods

Here's a Horrible that uses the art styling of "Grin and Bear It" from 1954. I found it on a great Animation Backgrounds blog. I'm hoping to take more ideas from these old inked cartoons.

It's Friday. I need say no more.

A bit headachey this Friday morning. It's still gray and wet outside. It's supposed to clear up for the weekend. We'll see.

This is another Horrible inspired by the wonderful animation background from Fantasia, via our friends at Animation Backgrounds.

The road is long--time to start running

Thanks for all the birthday wishes today! It's a beautiful sunny day in Seattle. I received a pair of Polar Bear slippers from the Julies and Dalias! Take note on awesome birthday gifts.
