    Character Concept & Licensing

    Why do we do the things we do? Some people are destined to be doctors or nurses or astronauts or teachers or truck drivers etc. My Neighbor loves racing motorcycles! I love how everyone is different. Me? I LOVE drawing funny little cartoons. One character is suddenly another and then another until there is a whole line!
