Another year has passed since February 25 1999 when AnimationNation.com was launched. The word we were spreading was many times mocked and ignored by entrenched studio creative labor. The word was we need a strong independent community to create an alternative to studio employment and the negative aspects of it.

I will leave you with this. It's a video of a very talented and successful artist who used to be my student many years ago and got his start in teaching at The Animation Academy in Burbank. This says it all for the studio side of things. 

The day has come my fellow artists. We must stand on our own and adapt to the new reality. Keep Creating. This is the way.
