Comic Book & Animation Mentors

Maybe I'll become a mentor or teacher when I'm older. There aren't enough of those. Especially Comics and Cartooning Mentors.

When I was in my adolescence, I had my very own personal animation mentor, a guy named Phil who has professional 90s cable TV animation work experience at networks like MTV and Nickelodeon. He was my private teacher/mentor in animation for a long time. He was a generous, caring, funny, confident, and compassionate man who was incredibly passionate and enthusiastic about animation, working, and teaching people like me animation and especially drawing and art. I don't know if I'd be as good as I am today if I hadn't of had an older father-like figures guidance such as his in my early years.

Kids need training. It sucks that there AREN'T more teachers, coaches, and mentors in academic fields. With the internet, it's sort of complicated things. The internet was still struggling when Phil was coaching and teaching me animation, that was 2000.
