Greetings and Welcome to the First Post!

So this will be my first entry here.  The first of many I'm sure.

Since this is the first entry it is only fitting that I provide a little background about myself.  My real name is Andrew, I am a young artist who went to college and graduated with a B.F.A. in animation and now I am who is aspiring to spread myself out beyond my comfort zone and push myself to new limits and new avenue's in my life.  This blog is one of those new avenues.

It has been said to me (more times than once) that artists need to really embrace the internet and show themselves on the web either by a website or a blog.  I've already built a website (which can be view at the link below) and it's about time I jumped into the blogging area of the world wide web.

The blog will mainly be about my personal work, either drawings, animations, illustrations, writings, etc. But I would also like to make this a place to post positive material.  After all there is so much cruddy things that bring down a person's enthusiasm, I would rather not contribute to that problem and post the kind of things I'd like to see.

Let me first start off by saying that this is the first time I've ever worked a personal blog for myself and my work.  Having said that, mistakes will be made along the way of this new venture.  Words may be misspelled and the occasional grammatical errors, but that isn't going to stop me blogging anyway.

The name of this blog, Sketchin Around, comes from the fact that I sketch in my sketchbook very often.  Whether I am at home, sitting in a restaurant, riding on a bus, at a Starbucks, etc. I try to get as much as I can.  One of my friends described me as "a relentless sketcher," so the name Sketchin Around seemed fitting.  I intend to have more than just sketches on this blog, but will be the start for now.

Anyway, that just about wraps up this introductory post.  I look forward to posting more in the near future.  See you next time.
