I can't animate stuff, because that requires real drawing ability. I'd have to draw things from different angles, and probably things I can't draw, like, hands and stuff.
I have so much respect for animators. Technically speaking, they're the most skilled kind of cartoonists. And I'm not even a cartoonist. I'm an idle doodler. Like Clint said, a man's gotta know his limitations.
Greg van Eekhout eats snacks and is a science fiction and fantasy writer. His stories have appeared in places such as Asimov's, Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Starlight 3, Strange Horizons, Realms of Fantasy, and Year's Best Fantasy and Horror. His story "In the Late December" was a Nebula nominee.
These days, more of my blogging action happens on my LiveJournal, but I welcome comments in both places.

Have you ever tried animating your sketches? This fellow looks like he's begging for some kind of Bill Plimpton treatment.
