Anything else you'd like to mention about yourself?
not really

Name:  Not Important
Age:    30's
Country: USA
Grade:  No grade.  Full time employee.

Who inspires you the most when it comes to animation?
I was a big fan of Bill Plympton and John K.  They did some really great stuff.  And who can forget old Tex Avery stuff.  Classic.

What programs do you use to animate?
I use a pen, typically blank ink, and sticky pads.  Digital animation is fine, but it's not really my cup of tea.  I prefer to keep things simple.

YouTube/deviantART account?
My user name on youtube is TotemX.  My user name on DeviantArt is TotemX.  

How'd you find us?
Not sure actually.  Sort of found you guys at random through Google.

Anything else you'd like to mention about yourself?
For the most part, I like talking to other animators, but a lot of them take themselves way too seriously.  It's a noble thing we do, but we're not doctors man.  Enjoy the art, and enjoy others' art, but don't act like you're the prodigal son.  It's a fun and rewarding hobby, enjoy yourself.
