PLANTERS 23 W ednesday , N ovem ber 3, 2010 O A KVILLE BEA V ER w w w .o akvillebeaver .co m Work takes discipline four or five main characters, includ- ing SpongeBob, Patrick the starfish and a few others, White worked on creating the characters to fill out the rest of the show. Over a period nearly five years he created hundreds of fish and sea creature characters that he still sees on the show today several years since he left it. He said leaving the animation field was scary because being an artist requires self-discipline. He said he knows people who are much better cartoonists and drawers than he is who are unemployed because they dont work hard enough to get a job. White said after animation, he started selling his works at shows. He began by selling at very low prices, say- ing he would rather sell his paintings for less money than have his expensive paintings just sit on his walls. I sold out at my art shows, he said. I made way more money in one night at shows than in a month work- ing in animation. Now he said he has a great life because, he said, I get to create something that didnt exist anywhere else in the world. He said he wakes up and can cre- ate art without direction from anyone else. He gave the students other tips. Computer technology has changed the cartooning world. You can make a better cartoon in your bedroom than Disney could when he started out. He said his friends in the anima- tion world have not touched a pencil or paper in years, though he admits there are still a few companies that use them. And because computer technology is moving so quickly, what the students learn will become obso- lete within two years. But he added, If you have the tal- ent and the drive, you will do it. Production companies will teach you to use the new tools. He also told students they have to be thick-skinned because there is a lot of criticism out there. However, instead of crying about someones criticism, he said the students should listen to those criticisms and learn from them to improve themselves.
