New site is up. Finally got tired of looking at the old one and I needed some new eye candy for a change. The site is about 70 percent complete, I will be adding , deleting , changing pages over the next couple weeks so if things are up and then mysteriously gone its because I am experimenting. If you have some time , fly through some of the pages and if something doesn't work or does not look good, please post a comment. My friend got me hooked on this blog stuff so hopefully it comes in handy down the road.
Take Care ,
Michael
Hey I have never talked to you before but im pretty sure my dad(Greg McBride) has about different things. I just wanted to say you really have been an inspiration for me to keep going on my animations over the last 2 years of highschool. I really enjoy your videos and screenshots of past works.

Hey Jason
Thanks for the friendly comments.
I’m glad that I inspired you to stick with animation it’s a fun medium to work with. I sometimes don’t do well with the compliments only because I myself feel very amateurish, but I do appreciate them when I get them.
Thanks a bunch.
Tell Greg I said Hi.

I wish I had the talent to do this--that's actually what I wanted to goto school for, but...it didn't work out that way...I still love the thought...
Unfortunately, I can't view your animations anymore (since ur upgrade). I'll try when I get home...
Great animations!

Please put Raymond and his love for cheese back in circulation.
Posted by: marcel hurt | February 08, 2006 at 01:46 PM
Raymond is back up. He's on the animation link and then click (Personal Animation Gallery) at the top. I won't be able to get more animations up until I get more available space from my hosting company. Shouldn't be to long.

This is one of the best animation sites I have ever seen. You have a great contrast of doing characters such as Raymond, and then animating monsters such as in Evil Dead. Great range of art and animation. I really enjoy looking at it.

OMG...I have been searching for your site for so long now. I had it saved at one time and lost it and I adore, I do mean adore Raymond and his love for cheese. Iam so happy I finally found your site again!!! I also loved the one with him and a soda cup, can't recall the name of it! anyhoo, you are so very talented and I admire you and Raymond greatly!!! Please do more and love the new look!!!!!!

I tried to get Raymond to play on Windows Media Player 10, and It says there is an error with a codec! I would really appreciate it if you could fix this my mom loved Raymond and his love for cheese, and she is the one that showed it to me and my kids! The kids have asked many times to see it since my mom passed away in June of last year! I had lost your website info, and of coarse I have now found it. I think they would be real excited if I could let them watch it again! They refer to it as the dancing mouse that granny showed us! I have a little 5 year old boy, and every since she found Raymond she would always come to your website, and play it repeatly for my son, she would wave her hands, and do the moves for my kids as Raymond sang, and played! My kids picked up alot of his moves where my mom would do them! We all really miss my mom and to be able to play that song, and let them watch, sing, and dance would not just make me happy, but also the kids will be able to listen & etc. Like they use to with my mom, and they can then remember some of the funny stuff she did to make her grandkids laugh! To me that is a very fond memory, and I know it is also for my kids! I want to Thank You for helping by providing Raymond for me and my family to find,watch, and dance to! Because we can always watch him, and remember the memories of my MOM!
You Do A Excellent Job!!
Thank You & Good Luck!!

Is it cool to host Raymond as long as you're credited? Nice work...
Posted by: esau | February 26, 2006 at 12:16 AM
BTW, was it alluding at all to the "Who Moved My Cheese" phenomenon? -esau

Hi Marquis
Thanks for the comments. Sorry if I couldn't get to your email, lately ive been busy and sometimes can't always get to everyone that emails me. Stay with that goal to become an Artist , it's a very rewarded profession to get into. http://www.animationmentor.com is a great place to start. Good luck!
Esau
Sure you can host it, send me the link when you have it up. I'm not for sure about the Who Moved My Cheese phenomenon, but its an interesting site none the less.
April
Send me an email with the issue, Id be glad to help.
