We'll draw the cartoon head from every angle, add expressions to the face, and I'll show you how to create your own "all purpose critter" by changing one or two facial elements.
You're going to do a lot of laughing as you learn, and by the end, you'll know how to caricature your friends and family without hurting their feelings ?

Hey, I'm Gene Hamm!
I started in animation in 1978 on Ralph Bashi's Lord of The Rings. I learned tricks working in Hollywood animation studios that they don't teach in art school. I make things simple and fun. I love seeing the look on people's faces when they thought they couldn't draw and find out they really can.

How To Draw Anime Characters
The cool thing about Japanese animation (anime) is that it bridges the gap between realism and cartoon. Learn how to draw your own anime character in my 90-minute online class, both funny and educational. I will show you how to draw an anime head from different angles (front, side, back, three-quarters, looking up and looking down). You'll learn the difference between a male anime face and a female anime face. We'll cover how to draw expressions on the face, and how to draw hair. As an animator myself, I'll show you all the simple tips and tricks that I learned in Hollywood. My animated feature Hell Toupee (streaming on TubiTV.com) has been described as an American anime. If you think you can't draw, you'll be surprised what a little framework will do for your art. Try my online class. And don't be afraid to ask questions, I love questions!

Quest for Peace Community Hike & Sound Ceremony - Horsetail Falls
Some afternoons are worth showing up for. Horsetail Falls is one of them. The trail winds through Dry Creek Canyon with forested slopes, flowing water, and the kind of mountain quiet that makes your brain finally chill out. At the falls, we’ll gather in circle for a live handpan sound journey beside the cascade. Golden light, canyon air, good humans, and space to slow down for a minute. No experience needed. No pressure to be anything other than yourself. This hike is about 4.5–5 miles round trip with significant elevation gain, but we’ll move at a community pace. Bring: 💧 water + snacks 🥾 comfortable hiking shoes 🧥 layers for changing mountain weather 🛏️ a blanket or meditation cushion 🔦 a headlamp or flashlight for the hike back 🌎 leave no trace energy Come for the waterfall. Stay for the “wait, I needed this” feeling. See you in the canyon.

Turkish Coffee Reading & Spiritual Energy Guidance
Healing is a gift I have from my ancestors . . . Turkish coffee reading, also known as fal, is a type of tasseography that involves interpreting patterns in coffee grounds to predict the future. It's a common tradition in countries that enjoy Turkish coffee, including the Middle East, Greece, and parts of Europe and the United States.
