Nothing like just worrying about having a pencil and eraser handy. Both have their good and bad points...I'll write about that in a future post. -K Yeah, sometimes computers and storyboards don’t mix!

My “worked myself to death” story was when I was working my first gig storyboard that I didn't sleep for two days straight catching up deadline. I know photoshop more than ever in that course of those two days. Stupid layers! Ivan Oooohhh…I don’t think I can top that.

My hard drive was going to the grave so that was the clincher. Turned out to be a pricey job. It had actually happened twice (to a lesser degree). If you've never seen a grown woman on the floor crying in a fetal position...it ain't pretty. At least you feel your experience was worth it. I can safely say mine was NOT : ). -K I ended up buying a new one! My hard drive was going to the grave so that was the clincher. Turned out to be a pricey job.

My only rush story is when I found out my favorite tv show had a comic that they were planning to write, being a comic illustrator as well, I raced to get a penciling submission to them before found another artist, if they hadn't already. I rushed out 6 tight, realistic, very detailed comic pages in 4 days. My hand was cramping so badly by the end of it. I didn't get the job, but I did get a call from the show producer's office saying how much they all liked it...so that was worth it.
