I'm not dead, honest.

I've spent my mornings and evenings making this little animation to say Happy New Year to everyone!

I wanted to animate these guys for a while and give them nice movements to bring them to life in this city I've been working on in my head for a while. I was pretty limited by time but I'm looking forward to doing more... Let me know what you think and Happy New Year!

Felt tip Party

2010-07-03T05:59:00.000-07:00

I started messing with some felt tips the other day and they make me draw like more of a retard. I think this is why all kids drawings look this way. its impossible not to make anything look stupid.
