About me

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... 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, and mobile apps.

JC is a Wacom Featured Artist, she delivers illustrated keynotes on leadership, visual storytelling and empathy, and has created and directed a Disney-syndicated, Gemini-nominated kids TV show, My Life Me.





A busy entrepreneur, JC's Montreal based company Little Animation produces earth-friendly animated media for kids. Her latest adventure is launching the PickleWeasel iPad drawing app, designed specially to get people laughing, drawing and sharing.

Stylus in hand, she can be found drawing and engaging with her tribe throughout the week on Twitter, Facebook and Google+.

Lookit! JC's featured on the WACOM site!



Some interviews... WACOM, Animation Magazine, SheKnows.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?

    I'll be your robot sidekick. I can sharpen pencils really well...

  13. 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!

    did I mention I make a great cup of coffee?

    hehehe

  14. *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
    But 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

  15. Can I be your evil sidekick? :p

  16. Brian - 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.

    I'M THE SUPERHERO. You're THE SIDEKICK.

    ReplyDelete

  17. Sarah - that's interesting. Very honest and sweet. Human, vulnerable, endearing. Have I told you I love you lately?

    ReplyDelete

  19. Trust 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...


    JC - 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!?!

    ReplyDelete

  20. Clearly it's me. For reasons soon to be revealed by YOU. And modest, too. :)

    Besides, 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.

  21. I nominate your pretty daughter. I like all her comments on your fb page. And it's good to keep family close.

  23. Stephi - Thanks and you can totally be the gizmo manufacturing younger hawter Alfred type person. Also? HALLOWE'EN IS COMING.

  24. Dot and Lil - How can you be a sidekick when you're already a super hero? Or should I say...soaperhero?

    ReplyDelete

  25. Tanya - 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*

  26. Hello 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!

  27. I 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
