On Monday, 3:00 pm my time, I found out who my AnimationMentor Mentor is going to be. He's a freelance animator based out of Australia! Yes, AnimationMentor is truly a global phenomenon. My mentor is in the land of Kangaroos, Koalas, and the Platypus; I'm taking classes in Michigan; I have fellow students in Spain, Germany, Australia, California, and Singapore!
My first webchat session with my mentor is tonight. That's when we get to introduce ourselves, say when we first got the bug to be animators, and why we chose to take classes at AnimationMentor. Can't wait to meet my fellow students!

Hyperactive Moth-Man!
My idea for the "World's Worst Super-Hero": Hyperactive Moth-Man!
SuperPowers: Unknown as of yet, other than being able to sprout his wings at a moment's notice, and look good in his purple SuperSuit.
Weakness: Uneffective in fighting crime and the betterment of society because he gets too distracted by streetlamps and porch lights.

Spike Sketchers Blog
So a fellow AnimationMentor Applicant created a weekly drawing challenge blog. I've become a member of this blog, and this week we're gonna kick things off with a drawing / sketch of "The World's Worst Super-Hero"! So I've got between now, Sept. 20, 2010, and Saturday night to come up with an idea for a terrible Super-Hero. I've already got an idea, I just need to get it down on paper and make it look halfway decent.
What have I gotten myself into...?
I'm kidding of course.

One Month Away
Congrats, you found it, my AnimationMentor Blog!
I start in little less than a month, Sept. 27, and I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself. Tuition is in, webcam is mounted, sketchbook is purchased, and required books are acquired. All that's left to do is to pray for the 27 to get here, which can't happen fast enough.
I've already logged in and met some of the students that are in my term via web-chat sessions. All of us are literally geeked out of our skulls! I'm gonna try and post at least once a week while I'm enrolled in AnimationMentor, cataloging my progress from week to week, and class to class. Posting my homework that I send in, videos and drawings, and voicing opinions of how the term is going.
So be sure to tag in from time to time and see what's goin' down.
See ya around the campus!
