I know that since I was five, I have always been fascinated by cartoons. But being an artist at heart, and by nature, cartoons where not just cartoons. I know that sounds crazy to some, but there are many, many people out there know what I mean. To us that have cartoons or animated films in our blood, it has become a passion, a driving force behind what drives us to know more. This is why I have set up this site. I have been in the animation industry professionally for almost 20 years, and the passion never fades. I want to share this passion with everyone who has that same interest as well. You don't even need to be an animator to be passionate about animation. My fiance finds animation awe inspiring due to the fact that she has come to understand the process and respects what animators have to go through to provide entertainment to everyone. This process is what I want to share, and hope to inspire.
Why 2D Magic? I have no reservations or negative feelings about 3D digital animation, but I am at the core a 2D animator. I have been educated and groomed in both traditional 2D animation techniques as well as 3D digital animation techniques. I feel that 2D is a true art form that needs to be preserved, encouraged to grow and evolve. I can tell you that the learning process and skills needed to create 2D animation, sequential art, are the very foundation to successful 2D digital and 3D animation. Everyone needs to learn the foundations in order to produce a beautiful piece of art. But most animators know this well, I just want to share. So feel free to use this blog for inspiration, understanding and working through the process of creating something funny, entertaining or simply beautiful! Interaction and communication is encouraged! Artist supporting artist!
