We're in the Middle of a Worldwide Animation Renaissance, Particularly in the West

For the First Time in Ten or Twenty YEARS, at least a decade or two, I'm as content with the American animation market as I am with the European and Southeast Asian Animation Market. There are enough European and Asian Art Directors and Animators and Storyboard Artists and Character Designers working in New York and Los Angeles and Atlanta that if you work in an American studios, in some ways it feels just as international as working in a French or Korean or Japanese studio. The detail level of American television animation is at an all time high with certain shows. And while I may still move to Paris at some point to pursue comics in the French market, as a Moebius-like pioneer of comics and animation with my own studio in either France or America, I'll still spend a lot of time in America, and I'll also live in America much of the time too. I'm happy living and working just about anywhere nowadays. As long as I'm WORKING, it doesn't MATTER where. HAPPY! TECHNOLOGY! ART! DETAIL! YEAH!!!!

I'm not stressed like I was in the past, and that fact has LIBERATED and FREED me.
