What Is That Mountain Goat Doing Way

The Idea For Any Cartoon (my Experience, Anyway) Is Rarely Spontaneous. Good Ideas Usually Evolve Out Of Pretty Lame Ones, And Vice Versa.

I Think I'm Maintaining The Quality, But Internally I'm Paying For It.

A Long Time Ago, I Became Aware That Many Of Us Have A Tendency To Lump Nature Into Simplistic Categories, Such As What We Consider Beautiful Or Ugly, Important Or Unimportant. As Human A Thing As That Is To Do, I Think It Often Leads Us To Misunderstand The Respective Roles Of Life Forms And Their Interconnectedness.

Perspective Was Always Important. There Are Some Cartoonists Who Can Stand At The Foot Of A Building Looking Straight Up And They'll Capture It Perfectly. And Then There Are Those Of Us Who Do The Same Drawing And It's The Goofiest-looking Thing In The World. But After A While I Guess You Just Learn What You're Capable Of And What You Can And Can't Do.

I Actually Find A Lot Of Parallels In Jazz And Cartooning.
