Artist Exploration - Kobra Editing


            Well as you already know, there are many flash websites and studio artists who have uniquely complex and creative flash-based webpages.  I chose this flash animator for my blog because of the fact that he has only been creating flash animations for a short period of time.  He calls his website Kobra Editing.

             From what I have seen so far from his work is pretty good for someone who didn't seem to take any classes having to do with flash animation or even graphic designing.  His first piece called Power, took him only two months to create.  In that piece, he describes how he completed this animation using the technique of step animation and motion tweening.  I took a look at his other works and was very impressed by the flash animations titled "The Anger of Animation".  That one piece of work sprouted many fans into wanting more from him on the website called Newgrounds which is one of the most popular websites for amateur and professional flash animators.

            Knowing that he created all this really inspired me because, he is just an average guy like any other person that I know of.  To know that gave me confidence in myself to do well with web designing and flash animation.  It gave me the "If he can do it, so can I" kind of confidence in myself to do well within this field.  If you want to see his other animations go ahead and check out his website.  It is pretty simple in graphics and there seems to be not much going on there, but for a guy who probably hasnt taken any flash animation classes or graphic design classes, I believe he is doing well for himself in regards to creating popular pieces of work.
