About Me

Hey howdy, my name is Will Reinhardt and I write and maintain Calico Monkey. It's my goal to provide some guidance for people interested in making their own cartoons, perhaps even doing it full time.

Before this life I've carved for myself I created web applications with a great company in St. Louis. In 2005 I started creating animation and articles for Calico Monkey and recently began creating tutorials for Toon Boom Tutorials.

I want to help creative people find their role in the new media world - videos, cartoon, animation - they'll all be incredibly popular as the internet becomes a teenager.

I've been nominated for a Pixel Award, had an tutorial published in Computer Arts Magazine and have had a guest article on Problogger.net.

If you have a question, article suggestion, whatever, feel free to contact me using this form.

Calico Monkey discusses animation programs, cartoon software and the art of making your own cartoons. Occasionally I release a new cartoon that has inadvertently made somebody chuckle. Such an outburst is purely accidental, I assure you. All animations were created with Toon Boom.
