Woe is Swain

Posted by The-Swain - August 21st, 2007


Hi Guys. I love you.

Ok, so I recently said to someone that it feels to me like I want the world. I want to get paid for doing what I do now with my free time. You know, animate.

Is that fair? I feel like a jackass for even assuming it.

I could easily get paid for doing work in Flash in general, which is, well, what I do now. But what I create isn't interesting to me. It's all web design stuff. It's not my own work, or at least, it won't be MINE when I'm finished with it. I mean, I animate for you suckas. I do it because I want to entertain others, so it's not THAT selfish of me to try to steer myself in that direction, right? Or should I stop whining to myself, to others, and to poor mama and papa Swain who are sick of my bellyaching, and just GET A JOB [hippie]? But then what happens when I can only animate a new cartoon once every five months?

Ugh, I miss the freedom of my scholastic days. Kids, if you're going to college now and have even the littlest time to animate, then USE IT. No, now. Don't make me come over there.

Hold on, out of beer, brb

(lol, BEER-rb)

If I was in your situation, I'd stop everything else and live in a dark alley with only a laptop pluged in to an outdoor socket and do NOTHING but animate!
You can buy food with the $250 you win from newgrounds! (hopefully)

I absolutely agree. I mean.. i'm still going to college... but i'm still going to try and animate stuff during my free time for when i'm not at work... or not at college... or not studying. :)

I love you more than you love me. <3

It's not selfish at all, you enjoy animating, people like to get paid for doing things they enjoy. If you think you could make a good living off of it go for it.

YOU ARE SOOO GOOD AT ANIMATING!!!
I wonder who makes Block heads voice and how old he is!
I allso wonder if you maid that Ghostmas day song your'e self!
Just one more thing!! who is that guy in the sofa who weares a white shirt and allways talk with Block Head?

What you should do is market your animation projects to television networks like adultswim.

We all really appreciate what you do.. Blockhead is hilarious and the best animated "sitcom" on the internet.
