I'm a perpetual Student Cartoonist who's always on the move. And yes, that's how I introduce myself.
My name is Collin "SkipperWing" Byrd (the "SkipperWing" part comes from the Skipper's cap I love to wear, and the last part of my name. i.e. "skipper's cap" + "byrd's wing = y'know. Get it?) I'm a "cartoonist," because it gets old telling people "yes, I'm an illustrator, yes, I do comics, yes I do animations/cartoons, and NO, these are not mutually exclusive." I'll even do them for you if you pay me a pretty penny!
But mainly, I'm hear to showcase my work, because DA seems to be one of the best places on the web to do so, and maybe make a little bit of money. And write walls of text. You'll come to appreciate that.or not.
Take a peek, and if you see what you like drop a fave and a comment. And if you don't like, just leave a comment! I won't bite. The important thing is to enjoy yourself. So enjoy!
