Eddy's Page

Tell us your story:

A couple years back, I saw the wonder that is AlbinoBlackSheep. Naturally, I wanted to make this funny stuff as well. A while later, I'm in a web design class, that delinquent student in the back animating stick figures doing nonsensical things. I still have the files for those, by the way.

Skip forward to a year ago. I start a webcomic because I have nothing better to eat up my time. I have a useless block during second semester, so I do an animation independent study. Basically, they throw Flash at me and I do as I please with it. I learn a few techniques, find an affinity for #0066CC and white, etc. Then, when I move to Windows so that I can use my copy of Flash CS3, it turns out the program I used to make the comics doesn't work as well on Windows. So, I make quick, dirty, and simple animations for my comic instead.

Then my lovely ladyfriend mentions CF in passing. I'm running slower on idea steam, thinking more of bigger projects than weekly clips, and CF seems perfect.

So here I am.
