Bad Posture...beware!

Let's talk about posture.. fellow artists. A while back I worked with a very talented director, in the course of the time we worked together I visually noticed this poor posture, turning into a slouch, turning into an actual physical condition! I noticed it a few other times, especially with older artists. As I write this, i'm straightening up a bit... i'm not kidding.. we live our lives hunched over a canvas, computer screen, or drawing table... it could happen to you!!

So true. So painfully true. My skeleton has grown accustomed to the totally unnatural animator's posture. I can can actually feel my bones snap when I stand up straight and push my shoulders back!

In highschool during the scoliosis screening in gym class, the school nurse swore I had developed the condition. My doctor later refuted that claim. Of course this was 7+ years ago. My posture blows now. The plus side? I'm that much closer to untying my shoes on a whim. Oh, that and picking up loose change on the streets.
