Things have happened in the course of the past couple of weeks and I need to straighten my priorities. I've lost my girlfriend, my dog is dead and I have a negative balance in the bank account as we speak. I've been applying to every job I can think of and no one is hiring.

As you can imagine, my world right now is a little bleak.

Until things get back to normal, I'm going on hiatus from animating. To be honest, I haven't animated much of anything for a week or more... so I might as well take a break officially. I can't keep pressing on in animation when the rest of my world is dying. I need to focus my energy on making my life better and sustainable.

I don't want to hear "NO ROB WE NEED MORE" responses or "ROB JUST CHEER UP AND MAKE MORE FOR US" comments, so I'm locking them out. I don't need any guilt trips from anyone. And I'm not saying I'm quitting FOREVER, just for awhile. Hell, you guys got thousands of other artists to feed you silly animations. You'll live.

Later.
