The sights, the sounds, the smells of a modern-day artist
I can’t believe how well my book is doing on amazon.com! First of all, it has been the #1 book in the “animation” category for several weeks and now it is the #1 book in the “Web & Multimedia” category to boot! Not to toot my own horn again, but the current overall ranking as of this blog is 1,853 out of 2.5 million in the general “Books” category. *Pop!* of the cork to all Flash designers and animators everywhere!

Hi, Chris! First off, congratulations on the book!
Having never touched Flash until recently, I immediately fell in love with how powerful, yet simple, it is. I found your tutorial of how to animate a character, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve always been a fan of the classic Disney movies, and animated cartoons in general, and until recently my plan was to become a concept artist.
Having discovered how much fun it is to animate your own characters, my career plan has taken a sharp turn. With this fabulous book, I’m off to a great start. It never leaves the side of my desk, where it lies right next to “The Animator’s Survival Kit” and “The Illusion of Life”. Again, congratulations and thank you for sharing your secrets. I’ll be sure to recommend your book to every Flash designer and animator I know.

hi Chris
i got the book last week. I have looked at many Flash animation books over the years and this is one of the best. (along with “Hollywood 2D Digital Animation: The New Flash Production Revolution”).
i really enjoyed the experiences you shared at the end of each chapter.
particular the one about being subtle.
congratulations Chris. well done

Smidget: Thanks! The book is doing great on amazon - ranked around 2000 out of 2.5 million books. Yes you cen get it off the shelves - some have told me they found it at local Barnes and Noble bookstores but call first as it seems there are very few left. The books sold out at the Flash Forward conference bookstore the first hour.

i just got your book for christmas, and let me say, I LOVE it!! It gives me everything i want in a flash-related book. This is the best book on flash i have ever recieved-the first being Flash Animation for Teens, which isnt that great at all.
You are the God of Flash!

I had to go to several stores to buy this book. I attend the Art Institute in Tampa, your book has the popularity of a Harry Potter book over here. I managed to nab the last copy at the third book store I tried. I would rant about how you’re the man, but reading through other comments, I think it’s apparent.
