Harptooniacs Drawing / Writing Prompts
Draw a Character, Create a Story
I always wanted a writing element to go with my how-to-draw videos. Every time I visit a school to draw with the students. The kids are eager to tell me stories about their drawings. Now my members only, art site, Harptooniacs has story worksheets that make the drawings come to life with ideas and prompts allowing creative minds to write about the characters. You can see the video of this works here LINK.
Happy Drawing,

Stickers Were Awesome in The 80's
Did You Remember Smelly Stickers?
If the answer is yes, than you probably grew up in the 80's. Stickers were "like totally awesome, dude." Here is my animated video all about sticker collecting in the 80's and my experience with a "show n tell" that went horribly wrong.

My You Tube Videos
Can you believe I have a kid that doesn't like Star Wars!!! Check out this hilarious animation I created where I quiz my son, Cooper, on Star Wars characters!
Welcome to my You Tube Channel
I love creating fun animations. Recently I have been working on telling stories from my childhood through animation. I hope you enjoy this animation. Why do I keep writing the word 'animation?'.

I Love Animation
Hey drawing fans, this summer I have taken some time to work on my original passion and that is animation. I wanted to be an animator Disney Studios but after interning at a local animation company in college I realized that it is a very tedious and long process so I pursued illustration instead. But, I still love the art of making images and drawings seem like they are alive. I plan on doing more animated videos in the future but of course these videos do take some time to make. I hope you enjoy this latest animation and look forward to seeing more of them.

Roblox is Driving Me CRAZY!
Roblox Part 1
I created this video to share after many evenings listening to my kid play the online game Roblox with his friends. I have no idea how the game is played but I do get to hear this endless stream of non-stop play-by-play dialogue. So after many nights of listening to this banter by my 5th grader I decided to secretly record him and animate the nonsense I was hearing. This is another reason why drawing is so GREAT! There is usually now noise from kids as they draw. So enjoy this video and get ready for part two coming soon.
Happy Drawing,
