Glad to see you hung in there & went twice the distance you set out to.
You inspired me to try this sometime myself.

A great run! Now take a hot shower and get yourself something cold to drink.

So great to see all the work you've done over two months. Of course we'll want to see more, but we've got a ton of past work to draw inspiration from, thanks! Glad you were willing to put so much of yourself into it.

Of course, I can't wait to see your animation work, but take a few minutes break before getting started. No pressure. Har har!

Mel,
It was a joy watching you get busy. I'm going to try to keep going, September was my first month going daily.

Here's some quick food for thought. I love numbers.

(Aug + Sept) > (Jan thru July)
(Aug + Sept) > '08 | '07 | '05
(Aug + Sept)+ 15 = 2006

Pablo said...

Hey Mel...Thanks for the comments big guy.

Jason Crawford said...

Hey there - Thanks for dropping in and leaving a reply and for the encouragement too.
Really love your varying styles, I know that is something I can definitely work on.
