I've mixed feelings on that Chimptopia thing. On one hand, I wholeheartedly welcome any attempt to take Glitch down a peg. But on the other hand, the creator of Chimptopia is a right-wing crank who made merch for a neo-Nazi, so.....no.

The most I've been able to make lately were a few stop-motion clips utilizing paper cutouts specifically for a couple class projects. They don't make any sense outside of that context, but they're cool to look at at least

This was incredibly hard to animate, but here's an animated painting project I just finished. I animated this on watercolor paper and painted it with both watercolors and acrylics.

I can't post the full video here as the file size is way too big, but here's a link to a new Hellavision Television short I did in collaboration with The Rampage Show, who initiated the idea, wrote its script, and was responsible for all 3D visuals. youtu.be/RBU2A87fsew?...

Also some pictures I took as I was making it. I don't have the space right now to keep all the drawings and paintings, especially if I want to keep doing mixed media stuff, so I might consider selling a handful away for cheap to whoever wants one.

Sadly I just haven't had the time these last few months to make anything substantial, so apologies for the double-dipping, but if y'all want human-made animation, I've got a few of 'em right here!

I was heartbroken to learn aboutYuji Ohno's passing. To say that his music played an important role in the Lupin III franchise is a massive understatement. He'll really be missed. I'll share one of my favorite Ohno tracks from Cagliostro here.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Yuji Ohno.
A legendary musician who was the heart & soul of most of the music of Lupin the Third for nearly 50 years will certainly live on as his music & themes will continue to be synonymous with the famous thief.

Recently, I re-recorded the soundtrack for my short film "Staring Contest" for a local gallery exhibition. I did this all in GarageBand, and it was my first time using it. I have very little formal musical training, but this is probably the closest I've gotten to creating a decent-sounding tune

I rarely animate stuff on paper, but I decided to animate this run cycle straight ahead on a whim. Extremely imperfect but fun! I used a grease pencil to draw this. They're a bit tough to use but I really love the thick, violent outlines.

A new cartoon to close the year off. This took me 3 weeks to make, and, it kinda shows too, but it's done at least! And it's my longest most "ambitious" quote-unquote all year

Reminder to the thoughts and prayers crowd that the pro-fascist, pro-theocracy, 'submit to your husband', anti-gay, anti-trans, hateful bigot who just died said that the cost of lives lost to gun violence was just the price we have to pay in this country for that 'right'.

Sneak peek of a very short cartoon I'm working on. I'm likely going to have to rush through the rest of it so it might not look this good, but at least I have this shot to be semi-proud of! I animated it digitally, then traced the frames onto watercolor paper and then painted each frame.

Sorry I'm not on here a lot! Here's this study I did a couple weeks back based on a Pinterest photo. I probably should have used something other than a grease pencil bit oh well

Some character design sketches and drawings. I feel like my character here is starting to look a lot more detailed and unique - except...maybe not because the Rumiko Takahashi influence is EXTREMELY apparent, but I'm getting closer to figuring him out.

Some quick paintings. I don't paint a whole lot, it's pretty easy to tell. I'd like to get better at this eventually. The latter is a concept drawing from an animation test currently in the works.
