THE GYPSIES: The animated version

The storybook has been up for a long while; I did it back in college. Here's an animated version I did for Newgrounds (see if I ever send THEM anything again! If it doesn't star sprites stolen from video games, they stomp all over it)

STEEL: Its Manufuckture and Mistribution, a Documentally, in Japanese with English Schlubtittles

This was done while I was an intern at The Global Steel Exchange, a short-lived internet startup. Part of my job was going about showing people who never had and never would make steel how steel was made. I used a Powerpoint projector. The Japanese narration used here is from the Sailor Moon cartoons. I do not know what any of it means. I myself have never actually made any steel, but I understand the Japanese make a lot of it.

The SCHLOMO Show!

There is, somewhere, presumably in England, a children's cartoon about a one-inch-high fellow named Slomo, who sleeps on a shelf and has adventures. I stole the backgrounds from the show's website. I have never actually seen the show, nor do I know anyone who has. I started thinking what a cartoon about a one-inch-high person might look like. Before I knew it, a theme song had popped into my head (about four o'clock one sultry morning) and I felt compelled to travesty some poor Brit's creative brilliance..

More SCHLOMO show!

Too much of a mediocre thing. I am most proud of the daffodil.

Because They Are Twiddled And Because They Are My Thumbs!

This used to look really good. I then had to flatten out the colors and pixelize the artwork to make it 'downloadable" in under two hours.

THROM-DIM-BU-LATOR

Mad scientists are an obsession of mine. Mad scientists and their laboratories are a particular fixation. I love it all: bubbling beakers, miles of tangled tubing, something arcing electrically in the background. Today, we will take over the world!

Cackling Codfish! More THROM-DIM-BU-LATOR!!

Best of the lot. I redid the character designs to make them look less like a five-year-old drew them. As usual, there is some inspired voice work from my radiant girlfriend Melissa.

Gagging Gumpfrizzits! More THROM-DIM-BU-LATOR!!

The newest and zotziest. Great voicework by Melissa

 

Crude Early Stuff

Wilbre the Pig in "Seig Heil, That's My Baby"

The heirs of Eleanor Roosevelt may sue, but here is my first Flash cartoon.

Wilbre the Pig in "Say, Ma, What's Bacon?"

Oof. An oinker.

The Melancholy Death of Wilbre the Pig

Sure, scientists can cure Alzheimer's, but can they put Hitler's head on a chicken?

More Melancholy Death of Wilbre

Somehow, I never quite got around to his actual death. He doesn't die here, either.
