LAST MINUTE STORYBOARD GIG
August 13, 2008
I’m not going to be long winded here, as I don’t have the time and I am already late with this blog (sorry Richard).
Here I was making a trip to see Mom and the family that was all well and planned and I just got a gig to do TEN commercial spots (with another artist) back here in LA.
Like many people, the de facto SAG strike has kicked my ass since the movie I was on had “artistic differences” and went into “hiatus” two and a half months ago. As a family man with a little common sense, I try to put money away, but the time since the hiatus has been very rough financially.
Plenty of my colleagues are not working and many of them have families to support. Of course, with the Peter Pan nature of many cartoonists, many of them are single, which can be easier when it comes to saving.
Anyway, the commercial gig is something I can’t pass up, and so my vacation is being cut in half, as one has to take care of priorities.
The gig is “only” three days or so (pleassssse four??) but that money will come in very handy.
As I tell my wife, money coming in beats none at all.
Hey Warren what’s up long time no see. This is James Webb jsut checking in to see how you’re doing after sooo many years. Obviously very well. You’re stuff looks great. I’ve been doing storyboards in animation since we last saw each other (Curious Pictures I think?) Been doingTeenage Mutant Ninja Show for the past few years. I like it alot more than advertising boards since color has never been my strongpoint. Anyway get int ouch when you can. -James
