A whole year? Yikes.

Has it been that long since I've bothered to put anything new here? Well, anyway, I might as well post something. Here's a storyboarding project I made featuring the Ronnie Raccoon crew. It's not totally finished, and I'm not making it into an animation. I don't intend to continue making this board, it was just practice.

Setting this up....

Welcome, this is the new Ronnie Raccoon blog.
I am Ryan J. Smith, cartoonist and creator of the character and online comic of the same name. You can see on the left how Ronnie has evolved throughout the years.

Here's some basic info-
I am a 24 year old artist, and I always wanted to be a cartoonist, particularly an animator, since I was very young.
I attended Caldwell College and graduated in May 2005 with a BFA in Painting.
I am currently attending the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art under their Film Animation program and am currently in my second year.
I have been making comics featuring Ronnie online since 1998 and I hope to put him in print real soon. I haven't got any old comics to show but you can catch my gallery on Deviant art.

I also hope to get more stuff online as well, and I intend to use this blog to keep all of you updated.
