The Mill - Coming to a Theater near you this Winter! #animation #blender #comics #digitalart #maine #portlandme #art #grahamformaine

I started this adventure reading underground comics and trying to figure out how to be creative without the drawing chops of those ink-stained wretches who inspired me. I never liked R. Crumb's photo-funnies in Wierdo, but here I am 40 years later, creating comics w/o drawing. #webcomics #comics

5/6 | Fern is first character that did not start on paper. Otis has been around a long time - he's a fragment from an old sketchpad who has made a few appearances in my stuff over the years. #Animation #AnimatedShorts #2DAnimation #3DAnimation #Blender #DigitalArt #Art #Maine #MaineFilm #comics

4/6 | I will never be a great modeler - my style is kind of leggo-ish. My challenge is making worlds that work for my art/stories. I'm OK with where I am at my learning curve. #Animation #AnimatedShorts #2DAnimation #3DAnimation #Blender #DigitalArt #Art #Maine #MaineFilm #MaineFilmmakers #comics

3/6 | Working in Blender has been a blast. Years past, I found the software to be overwhelming. Current versions of Blender and me(!) are working much better together. I'm starting to get it. #Animation #AnimatedShorts #2DAnimation #3DAnimation #Blender #DigitalArt #Art #Maine #MaineFilm #comics

2/6 | It's tricky to get it "right." Noodling around involves lots of moving parts (Character Animator, Photoshop, After Effects, Blender (modeling/animation).  #Animation #AnimatedShorts #2DAnimation #3DAnimation #Blender #DigitalArt  #Art #TimeBasedMedia #Maine #MaineFilm #MaineFilmmakers #comics

1/6 | Next Episode is about Fern & Otis; medical caregivers who grow weed in The Mill.  I'm still building the world and trying to figure out how to mix 2D characters into 3D world.  #Animation #AnimatedShorts #2DAnimation #3DAnimation #Blender #DigitalArt  #Art #Maine #MaineFilm #comics

Introducing Mugshot Gumshoe
- a game / art project. Mugshot Gumshoe started as an interactive "polaroid" pic generator for my characters. Game play is ridiculously simple; works best on a big screen. #animation #2dcharacter #gameart #arttrain #adobecharacteranimator #maine
