Hey deadeyedebo,

Your tattoos are pretty cool. If you want to get into animation. I would suggest keeping a sketchbook of figure drawings and gestures from life. Also if you haven't done it already, build a library and study some of the classic animations of Tex Avery, WB, MGM, Disney, Fleischer, and others depending on the style of animation you're looking to do.

Study a lot of Film Noir movies for staging and composition. Comedy greats like Buster Keaton ad Chaplin are great for comedic timing and pantomime.

Here are a couple of books the I recommend:

1. "Illusion of Life: Disney Animation, Vol. 1" by Frank Thomas & Ollie Johnston. This book explains the Disney style of animation. It goes through the process from start to finish of how an animation is produced.

2. "Cartoon Animation" by Preston Blair. This is a good book for learning how to draw cartoon characters.

Hope this helps.

Well so far it's been a year since Topps released a new GPK series. Whenever they do start a new series, hopefully I'll be part of the team.
