Hello...

1 min read
I've been off for a long time now. Well over a year. I've been attending Alfred University, learning arts and stuff. I'm thinking about becoming an art teacher. You know, work with kids and stuff. I'm sorry if you attended my page frequently enough to be disappointed when you realized I wasn't submitting anymore. Sorry about that.

It's a good thing I stopped though. I spent way too much time on deviant art critiquing other peoples work for no real pay off. If I had continued doing so, I wouldn't have had any where near as much time to focus on my work. My music is sounding so much better now, as is my craft in general. I'll be uploading more later, I have a lot of interesting things from this year. It's almost over too. Gah!

I'll have more updates later but for now, check out my music page on newgrounds

mwahahahawha ham, awhaw ah aAAHHHGANSSHSHHRHS!!! COUGH! cough, cough.... ahem!

I've been off for a while, please, let me explain...there's alot, so i'll try to sum it up in short paraphrases that are simple to follow.

OK! Here goes...

AP studio had me makeing tons of crap and it was taking up alot of my time. Chrous, had concerts to jam for. Track, breaking school records. New girl friend=quality time away from computer. School's websense=no more deviant art (I updated my page through the school's computers.) Lazy (primary reason why I wasn't on a bit sooner.) Physics, only final I had to study for this year so obviously, it took up alot of my time. Band, practicing, music...i'll get back to you on that. Cartooning...SDFNSyrmw!!! Oh, and I had alot of college stuff to do. I'm off later this year, so my arts gonna get better...hopefully.


OK!!!! I've been up to alot, but I'm back, and I'm here to stay. I really miss this community. So many nice people, so much cool art. I just can't stay away forever. I was afraid to return without something big like a cartoon to show for my time away, but it just couldn't happen. I really didn't even have the time to work on any cartoons. However, for those of you that are curious, I'm working really hard on a new one right now...what's it about? Oh, you know...our old favorite super hero VOMIT CAT!!! ZOMG!!!!!

Yeah, he's getting all animated like to save the day. I even worked up a nice little theme song. There's also a collab that I promised mr. ballistic i'd work on with a while back that's gonna get started up real soon, so I'm gonna have some serious work on my hands! Needless to say I'm really glad alot of you decided to continue watching me! It makes me feel like I havn't missed a beat...though the 200+ devantion count will have me guessing otherwise...sigh. I'll start looking at stuff tommorow, as it's really late, but trust me, i'll get to it! ARRRRRR!

Now, for those of you that think i'm just going to dissapear again, let me tell you,...YOU'RE SO DAMN WRONG. I just got a new laptop and i'm on it 90% of the day now that summer is around (I'm not a beach kind of guy.) I just got this insane connection from my dad's office that hooked me up with $20,000 worth of animation equipment. I'll probably be sticking to flash but i'll try and learn how to use the more advanced things latter. I'm going to have alot of time on my hands, so maybe you'll see some more advanced things out of me soon...teehee.

Also, I've been expierimenting with music. I've been getting alot better and i'm looking to promote myself somehow...check out the myspace page and tell me what you think www.myspace.com/quarldnb

ARRRR, hope you all remember me!!! TAFFY!!!! *twitch

So yeah...my birthday was today (the 9th). It was cute. My only complaint though is that I'm a year closer to dying senile in some wacked out over the hill house. I mean, GUHHH, I can be drafted now. Arrr. 18...NSRFMWSRTMSRTYM STH I liked being 17! 17 was a good year, it was like, "HEY, LOOK AT ME I'M 17, AND I TYPE IN CAPS LOCK TO MAKE A POINT!!!" and i'll never have the oppertunity to be 17 ever again. GAAAAHHHFHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

In other news, my chorus sang at Carnege Hall, I cos played at a nerd festivle, I have a new girl friend, I'm working on several cartoons, though I'm thinking of scratching one of the projects (Pico Day is coming up wayyy tooo quick), my track team beat the shit out of another track team (score: 129 to 13), I love the college I'm gonna be going to later this year, and I can buy porn and cigarettes...though I really couldn't care for either.

Did I forget anything? Oh yeah, I'm working on a song for a collab flash with mutant wombat :iconmutantwombat: .Arrr, it's sounding sick. I'm also still trying to get the collab with Mista Ballistic :iconmrballistic: but I swear god doesn't want it to happen :( lol.

Arrr, with my silly little gov. project done (honestly, it was like shitting butter compared to some of my more serious stuff) I can now look forward to a possible four new toons. I started a new character based flash. I pulled two ugly preview pics (I still need to make backrounds)...

img.photobucket.com/albums/v10… img.photobucket.com/albums/v10…

The characters are Rue and Riley. It's another romance toon. This will be my first character based flash to incorporate voice actors. Don't worry; I'll actually spend time with the lip synching to make it look good (compared to my dumb humor flash toons that I shit out.)

I also started a cartoon for PICO DAY!!! If you don't know what that is, here's a link to last years Pico Day www.newgrounds.com/collection/… It's basically a Newgrounds holiday celebrating the newgrounds mascot pico. Arrrr. I remember when Pico's school first came out. I rocked at that game. Sucks though...due to computers getting faster I can't beat the game anymore. Bah.

I'm also hopefully going to be collaborating with MrBallistic :iconmrballistic: if I can get the fla. file to work. For some reason my program wont open the file. BAH. I also have to work on another class flash toon, this time around it's English: research and term paper. I'm doing a report on violent media and it's influence on America's youth. YAY!! I'll have fun with that one.

Now, for the features!

:iconlunar-image: Lunar-Image aka my cousin that lives three or four hours away from me! He's going to college! YAY!!! He's also quite the sexy artist. He does like...digital stuff! It's cool! Trust me ;)

:iconhera-of-stockholm: Indeed, quite the intellect. Hera-of-Stockholm pumps out some of the hottest digital stuff around. She has her own style that's so friggen taffy, it's like,...well...taffy!! Check out her gallery.

:iconbroken-day: broken-day used to be :icondaisaigai: but changed names for whatever reason. Dunno...maybe she got bored after getting 1000 page views and decided to start over again. Whatever the reason, she has some sick anthro/animal stuff. Very taffy indeed.

:iconeternaladdict: EternalAddict has a lot of free time on her hands this week, so she's gonna be pumping out a ton of new stuff I think. She writes sick poetry, and does some of the cutest dead people drawings I've seen since sliced bread. Deffinatly worth checking out.

:iconmutantwombat: Mutantwombat is a sick flash animator with untapped potentail flowing out of every pore of his body. If he focused on his animations, I know he'd be like...God and stuff. Also he does tons of sick character drawings.

Arrr, that about does it for the features for now... i'm gonna leave this journal entry up for a good while, so please, if you actuly read all this, go look at some of those people's art. They're very sexy and talented people who deserve the love so look into it, mmmm k?

Also, I put a few new songs up on newgrounds, and i'll have one more track by Friday (Deduction) so go listen to that stuff, download it and if you have a newgrounds account, vote five! I'll love you for ever if you vote five. I want to earn a weekly top five track and possibly get some more exposure...that would be cool.... www.newgrounds.com/audio/view.… www.newgrounds.com/audio/view.… www.newgrounds.com/audio/view.… (all the links lead to the same place :lol: )

That's about all I have for you this time around. TAFFY!!!!

Vote, leave a review, whatever. Support the toon. If it comes thorugh with a good score/ good review average it's more likely to get exposed, so vote high...for me ;) . Also, don't forget to check out the music pages of the guys who made the sound for the toon. They kick ass.

In other news I've been asked by several of my teachers to do some cartoon stuff, so i'm gonna be busy working on those things for a bit. I'll post the stuff here as I get the stuff done, but I won't have another character cartoon for a little bit. I'm thinking really hard as towards what to do next, but it's challenging because I have to settle on a song first. Eh, Taffy...
