Hey. I'm X3 of The Friend Ship. I'm the art slave that draws and animates everything from cartoons to illustrations and graphics.
As far as how we started, Jake tells it like it is. We both wanted to collaborate on a large project and now here we are. We'll start every project off by talking nonsense to each other and then finally settle on an idea. That idea grows up and starts a rebellious phase, telling us he'd wish he'd never been born and all this and that. Then we give him five across the cheeks a few times and then he matures into a finished cartoon. It's a beautiful process.
So I've been drawing for half my life now and animating in Flash for about 7 years. I enrolled and graduated from some lame art school and now work full time as a 3D artist, while I do this Friend Ship stuff on the side. I'm hoping to turn this into my full-time job. I love to create stupid cartoons and doing it for a living is like, a dream to me.
Thanks for reading or whatever.
And thanks for your support.
