See the Swamp animation short on YouTube featuring the Rats.

It was done by two young animators, Xue Sen Wong and and Steven Smith, to see how the Swamp characters transferred to animation with the Adobe Flash program.

They did the voices and music themselves.

Both these guys have recently graduated from the Animation College of Southbank, Brisbane Queensland.

This is the original Sunday that the animation was based upon.

Gary Clark Interview

This past week Gary Clark, the creator of Swamp, was interviewed for the cartoon website, Comics Coast to Coast.

This site features alot of great interviews you can download and listen to. They have interviewed among other famous names , Patrick MacDonell who does the 'Mutts' strips. If you are a real cartoon fan then do yourself a favour and check their site out as it has alot of great material and information on cartooning.

This website is hosted by three cartoonists, Tom Racine, Brian Dunaway and Justin Thompson who do all the interviewing themselves.

Gary was their fourth international guest. They were put on to Gary by a young Swamp fan, Declan Byrne, who suggested they interview him. He even suggested some of the questions asked by the 'Coast to Coast' crew.

 As with everything we seem to do in life, whatever the task...

 As with everything we seem to do in life, whatever the task you always have to start wit a first step, a rough copy or in this instance a Cartoon Rough.

Cartoon Roughs

Some of the best drawings I do never get to go to print. These drawings are called "Roughs". They range from very quick thumbnail sketches hastily scribbled to visualise a gag idea. To a more carefully drawn sketch that will later be traced and inked as the finished cartoon.

 Roughs are often drawn very fast in the hope that this will help capture a sense of action you want your finished cartoon to have.

- Roughs take only seconds to draw.
- Doing the final inking over the top of the pencil rough take a lot longer.

However, sometimes a rough is drawn many times and rubbed out many times before I get it the way I want it.
