For the last 10 years, I've been wandering throught the dense jungle of my imagination (and I do imply that certain expanses of my mind are often cleared by metaphorical cattle ranchers), searching for what Yamako-chan and her story means to me. Without this meaning, I could not progress very far in the tale, nor would I even care to. The ballad of Yamako-chan and why she thinks you're stupid must reflect something both within myself and something greater than myself in order for it hold up as a story worthy my time.<br /><br />Let me start with the obvious.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ This evening I attempted to work on my Bitter Little Raccoon storyboard while playing Azumanga Daioh! in the background. For the record, AD! is an anime I collected that is, in a nutshell, Seinfeld on crack with Japanese school girls. Yes, I am THAT secure in my masculinity.<br /><br />Result: I accomplished one half of a panel and burst into laughter over Sakaki's plight of being bitten multiple times by cats. And Damn, that Tomo! She belongs in a class with all the other ADHD kids. Doesn't Japan have a special Ed program?<br /><br />Any whats. Going to try and burn through some BLR panels tomorrow. This time, with the tube off. Music is much less distracting. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Welcome, welcome dear Animation Magazine readers, Pitch Party judges and fellow contestants.<br /><br />Yes, I did place four, count them FOUR ads into this year's pitch party to help increase my odds of winning. Why? that's FOUR words unto themselves: Academy-of-Art-University. That's right, my alma mater is sponsoring all that space as they have done so graciously in past years. Thanks, AAU!<br /><br />A brief rundown of this page: There's a more thorough pitch in the Comment section of each ad. Also, there is concept art a plenty for YTYS as it is that story I am most interested in formulating. A brief first chapter can also be found in the gallery.<br /><br />Good luc ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ SO I'm gearing up for the Animation Magazine Pitch Party this year and with my school buying 6 spots, I'm snagging in as many as possible before the June 10th deadline. That is to say, probably 4.<br /><br />What is a pitch party you might say?<br /><br />Basically, you get a 1/6th page ad in Animation Magazine and depending on how generous a sponsor you have, maybe several 1/6th page ads. These ads are a pitch for an idea you may have for an animated program or feature film. These ads are then presented to a panel of judges. The winning piece may pitch their idea to a judge of his or her choice.<br /><br />Neato, huh?<br /><br />I placed 5th last year with "Bitter Little Raccoon"  ]]></media:text>

The single act of charity I perform in the name of humanity since I am broke and consider my art a selfish indulgence.<br /><br />However, earlier this day I drank a 32oz. Pepsi. The ensuing caffeine rush kept my pulse well above the safe zone for giving blood. I should have known better.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ So I've bandaged-up another spurt of artistic genius. Now that my brain has stopped hemoraging, I need fresh blood to keep me going. And it's not a matter of finding new inspiration. If it's one resource I've never lacked, it's ideas. No, I need to stop being lazy.<br /><br />I got a letter back from Nickelodeon Studios about a Storyboarder job that I applied for. They gave me a BIG MAYBE. Wrote that they wanted to consider me for a future project. That should have been enough to keep me going, but I always find myself easily distracted rather than performing the task I know will help me accomplish my goals. The Yamako comic is a fine example of this.<br /> ]]></media:text>
