So, my blog in portuguese won´t be of much use to you. :)<BR/>But I have a page with my comics, and some of it are in english, so you´re welcome to visit.<BR/>http://www.odyr.tripod.comOdyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06022116460784755628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1114428814930515942005-04-25T04:33:00.000-07:002005-04-25T04:33:00.000-07:00Howdy howdy.

I found you through the blogger top ten blogs your last week there, and my first week with my own blog. Now you are among my own personal top ten. I love your work and Ava's, Andrea's site is also delightful. You inspire me to be more artistic. I'll keep checking in and if it will make you feel better I'll comment when I do.Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322778291206842093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1114101657743809212005-04-21T09:40:00.000-07:002005-04-21T09:40:00.000-07:00I guess I am a blurker ^^.I found out about your b...I guess I am a blurker ^^.<BR/><BR/>I found out about your blog through dashboard. I love your illustrations and if you visit my blog (my desperate plea for attention :P) you will realize I am an aspiring animator. <BR/><BR/>I recently helped out with the Animation Show 2005. For a Coloradoan who rarely gets to see short animation, the show was a real treat. I'm sorry you didn't like it, but I do have to admit your illustrations for the "Boys Night Out" were really funny ^^.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Ward for having such an awesome blog. I love your work and maybe someday perhaps you can have a website with an illustration gallery?Ellen Yuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797328221734814597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1114070409958109572005-04-21T01:00:00.000-07:002005-04-21T01:00:00.000-07:00I feel like we are all in blurker's anonymous.

My name is katie and I am a blurker. <BR/><BR/>Everyone, "Hi, Katie."<BR/><BR/>anyway... i'm not sure if i actually qualify, seeing as i do post every now and then, although i check your site on a regular basis. i hail from the other side of the country, that is washington state. love the artwork, love how cute ava and her artwork is, and died of cuteness when i saw little gus-gus all rolly polly like in his costume for halloween. i, like a lot of others, came to you via the dashboard during the polar express and have stayed for various reasons... none of which i am at liberty to share because i would hate for you to get a big head.<BR/><BR/>anyway, keep up the great work, and keep the art flowing.<BR/><BR/>oh, and the "piddled me chair" response to someone's comment almost made me piddle MY chair. loverly. <BR/><BR/>p.s. my blog of course, is linked from my profile which, thanks to blogger, is already linked to my name - that is my blogger name.<BR/><BR/>cheers!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11844000538199603926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1114050272090647892005-04-20T19:24:00.000-07:002005-04-20T19:24:00.000-07:00Damn, thats a good idea, this call for blurkers!

Greetings from Vancouver, Canada - hi ward - love your blog and love your wife's blog (ha) - I guess because its so intimidating or something to make a comment - I never felt comfortable about it and I was so darn shy to say anything - but now i've practiced enough in just the last week or so - (hula seventy) has made it seem easy. Anyway didn't know there was a word for it. I heard about your site via Loobylu's via the SXSW site. And also saw your illustrations which rock! Now that I have my own (2 week old) blog (that never gets any comments) 'cept from Andrea (thankfully) I realize how nice it would be if visitors would drop a line or two.Jan Halvarsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17783438439039979102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1114044586268598312005-04-20T17:49:00.000-07:002005-04-20T17:49:00.000-07:00Hey there!

Hope you all stay a while longer. <BR/><BR/>As for the Incredibles DVD review: yeep! You're right! I've been meaning to get to that! So sorry. I've also been meaning to write about my third and final installment about the Polar Express (this time in 3-D IMAX). It's just that each of those posts would require so much background investigating and researching. But I promised I'd do them, so don't you worry. <BR/><BR/>I also plan on getting those interviews with various artists/animators within the field soon, too. Again, it's a lot of work to get them done. And I've got some other surprises for you all coming up soon!<BR/><BR/>And yes, I'll post more of my work. Thanks again for sharing, everybody. I find this all very fascinating.

I'd just been wondering why there were so many great music blogs and so few drawing blogs, so it was great to find out about you. Drawn! and Ward-o-Matic are now on the short list of sites I check on a daily basis. <BR/> <BR/> Your blog really communicates the quiet daily pleasure of drawing - so simple and rich. Like everyone else, I love the Ave Thursdays. Everyone draws! It's just that some people stop at a certain age.<BR/><BR/> I'll send you a link to my site when I get It set up this summer.<BR/><BR/> Looking forward to the 'Incredibles' post,<BR/> AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1113957064229685592005-04-19T17:31:00.000-07:002005-04-19T17:31:00.000-07:00I guess I'm a blurker!
