Welcome to the Journey!
I say "journey" as that's what we're all on together - whether we know it or not!

Welcome.
Thank you for traveling here today.
I want to tell you about a journey – my journey, but your journey too – about what I have seen on my travels so far and how it can help you on your travels too.
Yes, we are all on a journey.
Just “who” or “what” is on that journey we can speculate. But we are definitely all traveling.
That journey actually started long before we got here in this lifetime, and will continue long after this lifetime is over.
I can’t prove that to you, but it is what I believe and it has been confirmed to me over my 75 years of physical travel so far.
But let’s talk a little about the “who” and “what” first.
My life right now, here and now, has be a double-journey one – half of it has been out in the physical world, while an equal amount of it has been studying and learning about the spiritual, or unseen, side of our physical life.
I’ve been quite unusual in that sense as most people don’t do that second part – and why should they? Just surviving is the modern world is challenge enough!
In my case though, I had not choice. My early childhood – into early teenage years was a tough one – and so to survive I had to dig deep into my inner self too, just to survive it and make sense of it. Most of all it was to take the physical and mental pains away that I experienced day and night.
Let me explain...

Q&A
When I was very young, I had no idea what the world was about, let alone what I was about. In those days, we had not internet, not computers, not Google to search for what we needed. We did have phones, libraries and television – but unless you were confident, informed and outward going, they were not much help. For me, they were not much help! Indeed, I was scared of phones, found little on TV to inspire me and I was far too scared to go out into the world and visit libraries – at least in my very early days.
Instead my childhood was a thing of terror and darkness. Now this wasn’t because of my parents – who were very loving and caring. Instead, it was what was in my head, in my dreams and in my physical being that the pains were felt. I was a sickly child, had terrible nightmares night after night and had an overwhelming fear of life, death and everything inbetween – especially death! No one in my family had died at that point, but for some reason a fear of death – my own especially – plagued my thoughts and my dreams. I say dreams, as it was very hard for me to sleep with all this going on in my head. But when I did, I had nothing but recurring nightmares – of two things, which alternated systematically. The first nightmare was me being smothers in swarms of insects. The second was of having a tiger, with giant black eyes, standing on my chest and glaring down at me.
I recently decided to animate my memoirs and the tiger moment was one of the first things I created...

As you may have known, over the years I have built up a large following on Facebook – giving me a platform to launch the Animator’s Sketchclub and my newer group there, the Museum of 2D Animation. However, back in January my personal site was hacked by terrorists and Facebook shut down my personal account and all connected group accounts! Sadly, Facebook has been totally indifferent to my having my account reinstated, so I have had to start all over again with this one. However, rather than roll over and be a victim I decided to create my own network, specifically for animators – one that I can trust, is not just all about making money and one that respects its users. So, for the past few months I have been working on the new “MY ANIMATOR’S SKETCHCLUB” animation community network!
However, the My Animator’s Sketchclub it is not only a community network like Facebook - it is also the home of animation classes, courses, production and even it’s own animation festival. In many ways I see it as a unique animation community can join together – whether they be 2D, 3D, Stop-motion, Claymation or whatever – to learn from the past, to encourage the present and to enable the future! Members will need to pay a small subscription to be a member but I would love to offer you a free year’s membership for being an outstanding supporter of the Sketchclub in the past. I hope you will accept and become part of my special animation community?
If you do accept, please send me your email address so I can invite your formally to the network. I promise I won’t spam or pass your information on to other, it will be solely used to enroll you in my network. If you wish to see the landing page of the network, please check it out here - https://www.myanimatorssketchclub.com. (Although you won’t be able to enter it until I register you using your email address, hence this request.) Note too that members will receive a generous discount on classes, courses or events the new Sketchclub hosts.
I hope you will agree to being a member, as I want “quality” people who have demonstrated support for what I am trying to do for animation and animators in my autumn years.
Hope you will love what I’m trying to do here?
Thanks for considering it.
