An Inspiration in Tough Economic Times

Ralph Bakshi is a cartoonist and cartoon animator (remember Fritz the Cat, Wizards, Lord of the Rings?) who in this YouTube video is responding to a question at a comics convention as to advice for young up-and-comers in a tough industry during this economic downturn.

His answer is like Babe Ruth taking it out of the park.

The answer addresses the opportunities in times of crisis for animators, but really speaks to anyone with some creative talent, a marketable idea and the drive to take the entrepreneurial bull by the horns.

This is recommended viewing for anyone considering making a go of a long cherished idea that has been on the back burner until now.
