It feels good to be back at the wheel. Well I must say that was one hell of a break. I haven't touched flash in a little over a month, which may not seem like much, but for someone who is obsessed with animating, it's difficult. Anyway, I think I've gotten my life more in order now. I am getting a job at this place called V.O.R.P. (Victim-Offender Reconciliation Program) I'll be keeping there website up to date, and potentially be designing them a new site altogether. We haven't quite worked out pay but it will probably be anywhere from 10-13$ an hour. Taking a break was a great idea, and I finally have a little bit of financial security in my life.

PART 1: SPRINGVILLE (CLOVERFIELD PARODY)

One thing I was working on these past 2 months was this movie for a local film festival. It's a parody of the movie Cloverfield, which, if you saw it, is a very easy movie to parody. This was written mostly by Jacob Plette, one of my friends. We all brainstormed ideas, but he was the one to get them down on paper in a coherent way. I must say it was a blast making an ass out of myself on camera, we may do this again this summer.

Here's Part 1:

Part 2:

...and Part 3:

Some of the jokes I'm sure you guys wont get, but it's fine, the movie wasn't made to be epic, it was just a fun experiment in me and my friends film making abilities.

PART 2: SHOT DOWN AGAIN (WEBCOMIC)

Next on the list of cool stuff I'm doing/starting, me and my friends are starting up a webcomic called Shot Down Again. It will have artwork by me, and writing by me. My friend David will be upkeeping the website, which will soon be located at: www.shotdownagain.com (obviously there's nothing there yet). If you want to get samples of my art, check out http://jimtopia.deviantart.com.

PART 3: JIM'S TIME CARTOON

Last but certainly not least, is my next cartoon. Jim's Time Cartoon! This is going to be a fairly long cartoon with voices! That should excite a few of you, a fair amount of people preferred it when Jim talked, and I must admit I kind of do too. This cartoon is going to be comin' at you guys in 2 parts. Part 1 will have the plot/character development, whereas part 2 is going to have more action scenes. The script for part 2 isn't entirely done, but It's coming along.

It feels good to start animating again, a 1 month break is really something that I needed. Expect to see some cool stuff coming soon to my site, and Newgrounds.

Thanks for Reading! ^_^
