Self Portrait- Carolyn Drawing by carolyngallo, made at DoInk.com

I am having WAY too much fun with this site! Let me tell you about it:
The other day I'm checking my email (not one of my favorite tasks!) and I see this one from WACOM. A few months back I purchased a little graphics tablet: a BAMBOO FUN. (Let me just tell you, it was worth EVERY PENNY!!! I don't know how I lived without it!) Anyhoo, I usually delete emails from companies without even reading them (unless I know their including a coupon or something.) I'd never gotten an email from Wacom before, and I'm not sure what prompted me to open it, but I am so glad I did. It was just a little newsletter with some basic info on it, but I noticed the link to Doink.com right away, inviting artists to create little animations for free. OK, since I've been old enough to hold a pencil I've always dreamed of being an animator: a friend and I used to imagine what an absolutely INSANE and FUN job it would have been to work for Warner Bros., specifically Merrie Melodies/Looney Toons back in the hay-day of the 40's & 50's.

Well, here was my chance to animate without having to take classes/ shell out $ for fancy software etc...

It's SO EASY and fun! If you have a wacom you HAVE TO TRY IT!!! You are able to check out other animations by other people (unfortunately heavy on the Anime here) and post to your blog or MySpace or Facebook page. YAY! FUN!

OK, now I gotta go before baby wakes up from her nap.
:c )
