I’ve been extremely busy lately with producing animations and creating and merchandising the Dabbygag products. I’m taking the online brand into a new, exciting direction. However, I need to find the time to write on this blog to keep you updated on news, ideas, and any other developments.

Animation

I decided not to produce the Jay Leno / Mike, the Situation, animation because I want to focus on producing an animation about my favorite thing in this world, superheroes. The superhero script is still in the first round, but I like where my idea is headed.

Online Marketing

Over the past week, I recognize my weakness in understanding online marketing. I mindlessly thought that if I had content, people would automatically visit my site. That’s is certainly not true, so I spent the time learning about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and online brand marketing.

Dabbygag Store

Please check out the store. I have made some changes.

Pants on the Ground is a huge hit, and it inspired me to create an animation.

Hopefully the animation will be released early next week (fingers crossed), but I was able to create T-shirts for the Dabbygag Store.

Look at one of the designs and tell me what you think:

We believe more research needs to be completed to scientifically support that sex makes people stupid.

It explains a lot to us. Look at our 5 reasons why we support the idea that sex makes people stupid:

1. Sex makes people stupid, and vice versa, which explains why I’ve been getting smarter since I got married – no wonder divorce rates are so high.

2. Sex makes people stupid – makes sense if you’re a male – the more sex, the more use of the other head – where do you think the blood comes from?

3. Sex makes people stupid, explains why America’s education system rankings is one of the lowest – kids rather learn about Nailin Palin than Sarah Palin.

4. Sex makes people stupid – just look at the brilliant people like Hilary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, and Albert Einstien – you know they aren’t getting any

5. Sex makes people stupid – why else would celebrities like Tiger Woods and the cheating ESPN Sports Anchor date hideous looking woman.

We recently opened a store on Cafepress.com. You will be able to purchase all of Dabbygag’s products.

Be sure to tell me what you think.

Okay! So I have another idea for an animation, but honestly, I have been a little down with the results of my prior work. I don’t know why, but most of the time, I am always not happy with the results of my work. In high school, I use to produce videos for our morning television show, and I hated seeing my work. In college, after producing choreography for a show, I use to cringe whenever I watched. I just can’t take reviewing my work, so I always ask myself, why do it?

Even though I question myself a lot, I always come to the same answer. The process of creating something excites me. In high school I use to daydream of what I was going to produce for the show. In college I use to do dance moves in the cubicles during my internships. I loved it.

You often hear about famous and highly talented actors and directors tremble at the site of their own work. We all tend to never see good in our work, but quick to notice the mistakes everyone else probably overlooked.

My advice is just make sure you have a healthy balance. While it’s great that you are looking for your mistakes to hopefully improve upon, it’s also worth noting the things you you liked. This is part of the learning process.

Once again – welcome the new Dabbygag

Over the past year, working on the blog was hard for me, because while I do enjoy the writing process, it wasn’t my type of creativity. And in order for someone to truly enjoy doing what they do, they have to find their type of creativity.

So, somewhere during the year, while I was working on the blog, I’d figured incorporating youtube videos would be a great way for me to increase viewership. Unfortunately, the thought of random people seeing my face kind of frighten me, let alone frightening the viewers once they see my face. So I figured, I’d do an animation.

So that is where it all began. I picked up a Toon Boom software, and I fell in love with it. The people who have been following the site over the past year know that I took all of my content down to start fresh. It’s about true creativity. I’ll try to limit my random posts, but I’m such a random guy that I know I will create a random post here or there.

So now, this is what the site is all about. It’s about creativity and being okay to let your imagination run wild. I hope to entertain everyone with my animations. And inspire you with my writing.

Let’s share this journey to test the limits of true creativity.
