ANYWHOSDOWNINWHOVILLE,
Figured I'd post an update, keep you guys in the loop on what's going on with me at the moment.
EVERYTHING is up in the air - I'm still talking to that Canadian animation studio and progress is slow as balls, and I'm waiting on confirmation from Sun and Moon that I'm going to be there for an extra week given that they didn't have me in this week so fingers crossed for that, because payday two weeks before Christmas is always a good thing. I thought I might be leaving my part time job at Laser Fusion in solidarity with everyone else who said they were going to walk, but it seems like none of them are actually going to walk, so it wouldn't really be in solidarity with anyone and it's good anyway cos I kind of need this job for when animation stuff settles the fuck down. That is assuming I start getting hours back on the weekends, otherwise being on their staff list will be pointless regardless.
I also attended a small protest rally against the cuts to tax credits yesterday - which in light of the events in Paris and the subsequent march towards further bombing of Syria turned into a peace rally as well - and they had an open mic thing, so I stumbled through a few words about the links between oil and conflict in the Middle East in order to try and encourage people to join the Global Climate March that's happening this weekend ((check your local area to see if your nearest march is the Saturday or the Sunday)). So yeh, all eyes on Paris!
My mum's had surgery today to get rid of a cancerous tumour in her chest - all goes well, with a round of chemo to come starting in January, she should be back up to health by next summer, so that's gonna be alright in the end. Just heard in the last few minutes that it's gone ok and that she's back awake and recovering.
And holy shit you guys, any of you keep up with Gravity Falls? Cos if not you are missing out! Also, you don't have to worry about keeping up with it forever cos there's only one episode left before it ends - which is simultaneously great and bad news. Crossing my fingers for a region-free bluray release of the complete series though - that would be awesome!
And I need to catch back up with MLP - cos that trailer they released of this finale has got me intrigued as fuck about this. Every villain at once all stomping over Equestria? HELL YEAH I'M DOWN FOR THAT. Anyone here do a good Starlight Glimmer voice? Cos I've got an animation doodle idea...
Speaking of trailers, CIVIL WAR FUCK YEAH - looks like it's going to be awesome. Frustrating that we have to wait til May, but oh well, we've got Star Wars next month to keep us all overhyped til then. X)
So yeh, I think that brings it all up to date! Any questions about anything, don't be afraid to give us a shout in the comments.

I made a fan episode of Drawfee!
I drew some Drawfee fan art, and recorded the process. Now I have this big long video aping the Drawfee style (with no co-hosts - it's really hard to be funny on your own while also talking about drawing art)! If y'all have any interest in Speeddraws, Drawfee, or for some godforsaken reason the sound of my voice, feel free to check out the video! I'll be posting the art from this here shortly, so keep an eye out for that too!
SHORT ATTENTION SPAM 2 - NOW ON YOUTUBE
Been working on this for the last couple weeks during a gap between contracts at my current studio, and it's finally completed enough to show off! Featuring a freaky unicorn, shoe language, plane crashes, and economics lessons, I think this is definitely an improvement on the first one, both in terms of the jokes and the quality of the animation! I really hope you all enjoy it, and if you like it, please share it with folks you know who'd probably also like it! :D
NEW ANIMATED SHORT!
Hope you guys like it, and remember to share the link in your favourite group chat if you happen to like it! :D
2010's Look Back
2010
"This is Normal" was brand new, having had it's own website launched in the last days of 2009. It managed to keep to a one-a-day schedule for the entire year somehow (being a little bit shit probably helped :XD:). I finished my GCSEs and started my A Levels, doing animation as part of both of the Media Studies courses to get practising and as an excuse to make stuff. This was when DA was most like a community to me, though I was still fairly active on Newgrounds at the time as well. Also, the Tories won the UK general election and went into coalition with the Liberal Democrats. The Lib Dems betrayed the trust of young people by not only
