Michael's blogs are on an 8-month and 21-day hiatus

Michael Igafo-Te'o here:
My blog are currently on an 8-month and 21-day hiatus now due to "Bluth season" which meant that I have to really focus on studying the nuts and bolts of 2D traditional hand-drawn (pencil and paper) animation by taking online classes via Don Bluth University! This blog will be reconnected during September 2019.


In other news...:
Despite that Cartoon Colour had already went out of business in Spring 2018, after months of finding a backup alternative to Cel-Vinyl, I finally found a whole new Cel-Vinyl alternative, made by the Art Supply Warehouse in Westminster, California, USA called "Toon Tones" vinyl acrylic animation paint and I already bought my first two "Toon Tones" paint colors (chartreuse and magenta) on October 2018 and they're still at my home studio (Green Mouse Animation Studios) from October 2018 to today!



However, with Cartoon Colour currently dead as of Spring 2018, the only traditional hand-drawn (pencil and paper) supplies you can buy online nowadays are...:

• Lightfoot Animation LTD. of Temecula, California, USA (traditional animation supplies such as light-boxes, plexiglas animation discs, pegbars, storyboard sketch pads, X-sheets, animation paper, animation cels, field guides, pencils erasers, pencil sharpeners, pre-punched animation header strips, peg hole reinforcements, how-to books on traditional hand-drawn animation and line-tester rostrum cameras, etc. and cartooning/art supplies such as sketch pads, etc.)
• Chromacolour UK of England (traditional animation supplies such as light-boxes, pro-grade aluminum/plexiglas/chrome metal animation discs, plexiglas animation discs, pegbars, X-sheets, animation paper, animation cels, pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, field guides, animation paper punches, cel paint and line-tester rostrum cameras and how-to books on traditional hand-drawn animation alongside stop-motion animation supplies such as Newplast plasticine, etc. along side art supplies such as sketch pads, artists' (non-animation) acrylic paint, paintbrushes, etc.)
• Amazon (Blackwing pencils, Col-Erase erasable color pencils, kneaded erasers, 11" x 17" manila folders, animation paper, acme pegbars and how-to books on traditional hand-drawn animation)

I'll be back on my blogging during September 2019!
