I really need to take a break!
Sometimes I tend to get a little carried away.
At least that's what the girls keep telling me.
And they should know.

-----------I've received inquiries from some of you about this movie and how I produce my work
technically. Rather than answer each one individually, I'll explain a few things here.
In addition to Flash, I use a program called Toon Boom Studio. This software is completely compatable with Flash and works beautifully hand-in-hand with it. Obviously, in my work, drawing is very important, and the program is designed to accomodate artists who concentrate on quality drawing. It has no action scripting or automatic shape tweening, but that's where flash comes in.
I also have a Wacom Cintiq tablet which is the most fantastic creative tool I've ever owned. It too is a device designed to accomodate one's drawing skill.
I always do a little research in preparation for making a movie. For example, I used Muybridge's book "Animals in Motion" to make sure the drawings I made for the horses' walk cycle were authentic and correctly paced. The cowboy's Colt revolver was researched to make sure I drew it accurately. This all takes time of course, but I have a hell of a lot of fun doing it.
Thank you all for your kind reviews.
