I know that these strips always come up small and hard to read...but if you click on them then they open up much bigger and easier to read...enjoy!

Hi everyone, Karen's husband Bill here. Karen is busy enjoying a PB&J right now, so I'm updating today's blog entry. These strips were drawn last night and I for one think they're hilarious. They really show off Karen's style of humor and her wonderful ability to make people laugh, with just a few sentences. Hopefully everyone that reads these will get a hooked as I am, and demand more comic

So here are my strips for the day....the second one with the candy is the everyday struggle I face with the candy dish at work...it's a horrible temptation it is...and I'm so..so weak...

So my big strong man issued me a challenge when we were at the Art Store and we found this adorable little sketchbook that was just the right size for comic strips! The challenge is to do 2 strip ideas a day and finish up one strip a week. Here are my current strips for this weekend. More to come soon!!You can probably tell the rocking weekend I had this weekend :) I had a pretty crazy Saturday

One big question a young hopeful in the animation world is "Do I need to go to college?" Does a degree really matter in the professional realm? I say....no...I believe a dreaming young animator can make it big in the industry without having a degree under their belt. Employers are more interested in a good portfolio or demo reel.

Being an artist, it's hard to go through life without picking up a role model or two. At the very least we all at one point identify with a person, or style that intrigues us and we want to see more. But one thing I have noticed is that there is a very distinct difference between having an artistic influence....and completely copying them with the intention of getting the same fame and attention
