My name is Sean Pendleton, and I'm insane. Not clinically so but artistically. I think every artist has to be a little crazy to do what we do. We put our work out there for people to see, and we know we won't get any kind of feed back from some of them. There is that small hope that somebody will say "good picture" or hell, even "bad picture" would be nice if they tell you what they don't like (if they say bad picture and don't tell why then they can reserve a spot in critic's hell right next to
artist's hell). Even smaller than that shread of hope that you'll get a "good pic" response is a person that knows what they're talking about giving their critique on one of your humble offerings. That's the reason I do this.
I started drawing when I was five. I've been watching cartoons since before that and I think it affected my mind. I could never concentrate on a single story or set of characters. For this reason I have a multitude of different "series" all with different casts and sometimes different universes (Marvel for instance can coexist with Genesis, but probably not Dawson, Jesse and Leroy). I make less of series now than I used to back when I really started seriously drawing them. Boy back then I'd slap a name on a bunch of related pictures and I'd have a "series," but that's how I got started drawing the things I do now. I try not do do that as much now. I try.
I got into showing things on the internet through the
Foxprints forum and through the encouraging, and sometimes surreal, postings led in some ways to the site you see here.
A couple of years ago I got a huge injection of independence when I took on an internship at the Disney College Program, and it made my art even weirder than it would've been otherwise. It also gave me a chance to do something I thought I'd never do (among other things), get into puppetry. I'm now an avid puppeteer in addition to my drawings.
This is me.
