Change of plan again!!!

I have changed my mind for the last time. Promise!!!
What I am now experimenting with is...
Working towards an animation or comic strip aimed at young adults.  The plan is to humour people. The comic/animation will be about what it is to be a young person today and the funny situations you can find yourself in.  The plan is... that there will be three main characters, based on people I know, who have very exaggerated mannerisms.  These three characters will basically be living out 'everyday life' in a crazy world I create that will be based on real life and experiences yet, again, exaggerated and extended upon.  I hope to create quirky, loveable characters who have hilarious conversations and experiences.

Leonid Afremov

I love this artists oil paintings because of how the colours seem to fit together with ease despite how busy and messy the paintings could potentially look. The subject of a lot of his paintings is usually romantic and he often paints a couple visibly in love.

Kenn Nesbitt

A possible project idea is to write and illustrate poems for children. I am inspired by Kenn Nesbitt's work as he writes funny poems in particular and they are fun to read at any age. They are usually very surreal.


My Hamster Has a Skateboard
A Funny Hamster Poem for Kids

My hamster has a skateboard.
When he rides it, though, he falls.
He takes off like a maniac
and crashes into walls.

He screams, "Geronimo!"
and then goes crashing down the stairs.
He's good at knocking tables down
and slamming into chairs.

He'll slalom through the living room
and then you'll hear a, "Splat!"
which means that he's collided with
my mother or the cat.

He plows right into cabinets,
and smashes into doors,
I think he's wrecked on every bed
and every chest of drawers.

It's fun to watch him ride
because you're sure to hear a smash.
He doesn't skate so well but, boy,
he sure knows how to crash.
--Kenn Nesbitt
