Deal with it, Cate Blanchett! A new era for MCBurnett.

I suppose resolutions are to be made and stuck to from day one of the new year, but the first days of 2009 weren’t inspiring enough for me make a change in my life, which I’ll admit has been stagnating in light of unemployment and my own laziness.  But as each day of these first 19 ticked by, I started to find my inspiration. These guys, laid off from 1Up and EGM, hit the ground running. I haven’t even been speed walking in the last couple of months. And I need to change that.

So, on this day of change in America, I’m announcing my candidacy for productivity. Allow me to outline my very simple platform.

- Monday through Friday, at least one blog post a day. Posting on weekends when possible.

- Monday through Friday, one piece of artwork, even just a sketch page, will be posted daily. Hopefully this will turn into a means to an end, getting more on the ball with For Tax Reasons work, but at the very least I need to be drawing, daily.

That’s it. I hope that publicly putting that out there and on the line places the gun to my head that desperately needs to be there to beat my natural procrastination and start progressing as an animator, a writer and whatever other role I need to take on to make it big in this town. . . this town we call the Internet. Because no one in Hollywood will ever care about a good Final Fantasy joke as much as the Internet does.

I maked pixel arts. First try.  Ben did text.

Second experiment.  Copying helps me learn!

So this is my post for today. . . my inaugural post in this experiment. I’ll let it stand alone for today, and then tomorrow, the real work begins.
