Clean Lines, No Capes

Man, I promise that I really AM working on a new shot.  It’s just extraordinarily difficult to find solid blocks of time to work on it right now.  I’m watching both our boys during the day now, so that pretty much rules out any time to work on animation from 6am to 8pm.  It’s just not possible to get a solid block of time in there where neither boy needs something or another.  Plus the fact that one of the boys is only a year old….forget it – he requires near constant attention when he’s awake, otherwise I’ll turn around and find him drinking out of the toilet or licking the funky chocolate milk stain on the carpet from when his older brother spilled a full glass….well, nevermind – suffice to say, I don’t get any work done during the day.

That leaves me a few hours each night to try to work on stuff.  And I just don’t have the ability to cut myself out of my family’s life on weekends like I did when I was in school.  It just isn’t possible anymore.

So right now, I feel like the tortoise – plodding along, slow and steady.  I’ll finish the race (ie: get my next job), but I’m not going to be coming in first place like in the old Aesop fable.  Instead, I’ll come in a day late, just (hopefully) not a dollar short.

I’ll get a vid up ASAP with my new shot.  I promise!  :)
