Colter Avara's PIctures
PRODUCTION FEED
Mid-week Update
As it stood on Tuesday when I posted my "whining" fit; things were looking a bit dreary. While I'm not completely out of the fog at the moment, things are looking a bit better. Some events that occurred between Tuesday, and today gave me a bit more juice to run on.One thing that I can say has helped is that I've had the opportunity to start playing hockey again, not in ice form, but roller form. I prefer ice hockey, but the closest ice hockey arena is at least an hour away. I want to play on a regular basis, and roller hockey is just as good. I'm waiting with anticipation for my new helmet, gloves, and sticks to arrive.
All my old ice hockey equipment is likely dry-rotted by now, so I used that excuse to get some new things.
Anyway, a few days ago I bought a big sack of basmati rice to go with the roti flat-bread that I made, and I thought of a drawing idea. I'm cartoonist friends with Katie Rice, and I'm also a huge fan of her work so I thought, "What if Katie Rice had her own brand of rice?". This is the product of that thought:
As M.R. Darbyshire stated, "I hope this doesn't bring back repressed memories from her school days.". Hopefully she just likes it!
Fart-Butts Murphy
Boy, it's been a rough couple of days. I'd rather not go into details about it, so I won't, needless to say, I feel like a horse's patoot. I am just hoping for a good turn of events that will make me feel better about things.
Despite all this stress, and useless negativity, I've continued drawing things for the gift application and also managed to slap some of the better designs onto a few shirts in my store.
I also designed a logo for Off-Air with Roche and Whitney on DC101.com. A very amusing podcast starring two of the most colorful radio personalities around. Check it out! Unfortunately, I can't show you the logo yet because they haven't placed it on the main site, but it'll be there soon.
That is pretty much it for now, I think I'm going to go smash my head through some drywall.

FUN!
Hey everyone, just wanted to post a little message to let everyone know I am pretty busy. I'm working on two large projects one I will keep to myself until the time comes (some of you may already know what it is), the other I want to bring up because it's pretty darn cool.

Afterthought..
So, to follow-up with my "Concerned" post, I realize now that I came off as a bit negative, and angry. I assure you that I'm quite the opposite, this issue had come to a head and my only way to vent besides just flat out quitting was to post it in a blog.
I want everyone that reads this to know, that I believe that we've definitely got a huge opportunity here since a lot of us have hit some down time and we should start focusing on personal projects, and even collaborating together on projects.… Continue

Join the Revolution!
Frustrated with the industry? Seem like you aren't getting anywhere, or there aren't enough like minded individuals around for you to chat with? Or maybe you try to chat with them and they treat you like a gibbering idiot?
If so, you might agree that its time for a revolution! Time to work together, lift each other up and shake off the negative experiences we've dealt with and move forward!
Sound interesting? Join The Cartoo… Continue

Concerns
First of all, let me start off by saying that the following statement is merely a personal opinion. This isn’t something that I expect others to believe, nor am I forcing this opinion on anyone. If you feel the same way I do than great, if not, that’s great too.
I guess at this point I could label myself an artist, I animate, I draw cartoon characters, and backgrounds but I’ve yet to really do anything on a professional level. I’d really like to get there someday, but it seems as though you re… Continue

- Must've been my bloodthirsty Irish potato farmer ancestors who earned the family name! btw, I 2nd whut my pal Potato Farm Girl says: Don't let the busy or snobbish get ya down. Keep drawing and get your stuff out there whatever way you can.
... and you don't need to be earning a paycheck to be an artist. As long as you're creating, you're an artist.

Stephen M. Levinson said… - Hey man.. I've actually only been to 1 life drawing class soo far. You can check the drawings out if you want. They're nothing impressive. I'm applying to Cal Arts so I'm working on Life Drawing skills for my portfolio. They want 80% to be life drawing so I need to work on that. http://frederatorblogs.com/stephen_studios/2008/05/18/life-drawing-p1/

Andy Linke said… - Are you speaking of animation? if so it depends upon what you want to accomplish by going back to school. If you know the principles of animation,and the processes etc. and feel solid in your drawing (though we can all get more practice in that) I might recommend not going back to school. Spend the money on programs, books and supplies, and spend the time practicing, drawing, making animations etc. However if you feel you could learn a lot from school then I would recommend doing it. I have learned a lot. It won't hurt that I have a degree and can put that on a resume, but that won't get me a job my talent will, and school does develop talent. If you want info on what schools are offering these days I can help out with the experiences i'm having and have had at school. I'm here to help a brother out!!

- How long have you been graduated?? Where are you currently in the Biz? It seems like we have some similar views and experiences thus far in the business, and it's obvious your a great talent just want to see what others in similar situations to myself are up too.
