At the beginning of my career, back when dinosaurs ruled the earth, I struggled to plump my resume so it would fill a single page. Nowadays I must ruthlessly slash it down to three. Here's my official bio, where I talk about myself in the third person... (scroll downie, downie, downie for the UNofficial one):
JC Little is The Animated Woman.
Mom, animator, humorist...award-winning story artist, compelling public speaker and social media minx! Always playful and often poignant, she blogs her eclectic slice-of-life stories with unique drawings and animation here at TheAnimatedWoman.com. She's a happily married mother of three and a director whose 30+ year career in animation has spanned commercials, feature films, TV series, new media, mobile apps and picture-books.
JC is a two-time BlogHer Voice of the Year honoree, and winner of three Canadian Weblog Awards. She's on the Wacom site as a Wacom Ambassador, and delivers highly illustrated keynotes on leadership, visual storytelling and empathy. JC is the creator and director of the Disney-syndicated, Gemini-nominated kids TV series, My Life Me, and has animated over 30 short films, the latest of which is the award-winning Papa Pasquale.
Stylus in hand, she can be found drawing and engaging with her readers throughout the week on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and Ello.
Lookit! JC's featured on the WACOM site!
Some interviews... WACOM, Animation Magazine, SheKnows.com, AmusedNow.com, Glocul Mag, YouChew, The [Real] Scratchpad and The Making of Frenching. To view a selection of JC's latest animated short films, visit her YouTube channel.
I am The Animated Woman...normally I wear this purple dress. But sometimes I wear a Super Suit. I have yet to find the right bra to go with it.
Why do I draw all this stuff? I'm going to be drawing one way or another: this seems like a good place to put it. I feel it when I draw it. If you could see me drawing, you'd be like, wow, she really feels it; look at all the weird faces she's making.
So, if I'm a Super Hero...who will be my Sidekick?
Talented, beautiful, and smart, funny, caring and giving... @bjhenson
ReplyDeleteHumorous, Talented and Touching :)

ReplyDeleteDear JC,
ReplyDeleteBefore you disregard this post completely or dub it trolling: Why the hell haven't YOU watched Tiger and Bunny?
-Love That Guy
Dear JC,
ReplyDeleteTiger and Bunny is awful. Don't watch it.
-Love Anonymous
Dear JC,
ReplyDeleteThe anon above me has shit taste, That is all.
-love Anonymous
That Guy??? Here on my blog?!? OK now I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteLove you love you love you.
ReplyDeleteI'll be your robot sidekick. I can sharpen pencils really well...
OOOOOOOOOH!!! I'll be your sidekick! I can fix things (correctly,) I am not afraid to ask for directions, I can cook really well, and can stop Havoc and Chaos in ONE word!
ReplyDeletedid I mention I make a great cup of coffee?
hehehe
IamIRONDADDY
*Raises hand* *puts it down sheepishly* *slouches in chair* *glances around* *raises hand slightly, while blushing, and crossing fingers under the desk* (<-- that’s how I ALWAYS raised my hand in school… never *really* sure if I wanted to get picked.) LOL!!! :-D
ReplyDeleteBut who wouldn’t want this job? :-) You’re going to have everyone applying -- maybe even movie stars, pets, statues, and/or other cartoons/comics. :-P
Sarah
Can I be your evil sidekick? :p
ReplyDeleteBrian - Clearly you are multi-talented and useful to have around. You would make an excellent sidekick. But you'd have to get yourself into danger every now and then so I could rescue you. Otherwise I might start to feel threatened.
ReplyDeleteI'M THE SUPERHERO. You're THE SIDEKICK.
Sarah - that's interesting. Very honest and sweet. Human, vulnerable, endearing. Have I told you I love you lately?
ReplyDeleteDeep - Yes. Keep me on my toes.
ReplyDeleteTrust me...Brian has NO problem with getting himself into trouble...not that I would know firsthand or anything. BUT if he's your sidekick I want dibs on being the younger Alfred type person...
ReplyDeleteJC - you're a wonderful woman and absolutely rawk at the whole super hero thing already...can't wait to see just how much more awesome you are with fancy spandex, mask, & a cape! OMG! How awesome is a CAPE!?!
Clearly it's me. For reasons soon to be revealed by YOU. And modest, too. :)
ReplyDeleteBesides, I would look great in a sidekick outfit, and I'm naturally pre-disposed to getting myself into sticky situations, but helping others get out of theirs. And I have great hair today (just saying.)VOILA. Perfect sidekick material.
I nominate your pretty daughter. I like all her comments on your fb page. And it's good to keep family close.
ReplyDeleteHi, JC.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reaching out to us here at Wacom. We do love your work... it keeps us smiling. So glad that we could feature you in our new campaign. Just think, it all started with that Twitter dialog!
Keep up the great stuff.
- The marketing folks at Wacom
Thank-you Wacom. I'm hopelessly devoted to my tablet.
DeleteStephi - Thanks and you can totally be the gizmo manufacturing younger hawter Alfred type person. Also? HALLOWE'EN IS COMING.
ReplyDeleteDot and Lil - How can you be a sidekick when you're already a super hero? Or should I say...soaperhero?
ReplyDeleteTanya - I'll pass the compliment on to the daughter...but which one do you mean? Brunette or redhead?? Somehow I think that neither would be too happy to be their mom's sidekick though. They have their own adventures to discover. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteHello JC! I was wondering if I could use your services of drawing me punching out cancer. I'm a lifestyle and wellness/nutrional coach and mentor and would love to see about putting this on my website page. Of course there would be a link to your website too. Can we talk? I don't know if you have email or how I can reach you. My name is Lizz. My business email is: lizz@acting4me.com. Thanks! Oh, I stumbled on your website just by accident, but what a GOOD accident! Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteI think I would be a great super hero sidekick, First I am a little fat celt, then I am a fragile little fat celt then I am small delicate and fragile Sherman Tank division, so if you patted me on the head 'super fast' I would begin to bounce and you could aim me at the enemy and I'd bounce all over them...and bounce back !so youwould always have a sidekick...and I'm an artist so we could be terribly arty now and again :) which is great as long as there is red wine and a deep sofa with extra cushions involved and decent music in the background...chat till 4am is encouraged :) thanx for adding me
ReplyDeleteWow can you draw my girls?? I will take a badge for sure..LOVE YOU…..im an autism blogger at www.goteamkate.com.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. You are truly blessed. I love your tv show, drawings and animations.
ReplyDeleteTom
