Well, 2008 has come and gone (I had hoped to have a flying car by now). It’s the time of year where people make resolutions to map out their year ahead in the hopes of bettering themselves, and improving their lives overall.

For some people, that includes getting a hobby that gives them something to have fun with, something unrelated to their day job. While it may not be as high profile as the Firehouse Five Plus Two, it should be something that you have fun with. Others may set small goals which will improve their skill sets overall. When was the last time you went to a figure drawing session? Is there an aspect of cartoon making that you have been interested in but have never tried? Here are some of my animation related resolutions for the new year:

• Draw more
• Blog more (my December posts were pretty sparse)
• Make more cartoons (I’ve got several boarded, I just need to get off my duff and make them already)
• Watch more films
• Give back to the animation community as others have done for me (I’ve already got this pretty well covered. I’ll be teaching some animation classes at the Art Institute of San Diego)

So what are some of your resolutions for 2009?
