One Second of Animation from Today

Ideally I would like to do at least one second everyday- it's only eight drawings.

I did this one just now and it didn't take too long.

Fluidtoons in aNYmator!

So ASIFA-East has an online publication, the aNYmator, and today because of the kindness of Emmett Goodman and the ASIFA-East Viewseumhe's been running, there's an article about One Minute Fluidtoons on Paper Two and Three:

Video of Fluidtoons Painted on Door and Wall in Tallahassee

I really like how this video turned out!

The awesome music is by Orange Dust.

Painting Walls in Tallahassee

My friend Caitlin let me paint a door and a couple of walls while I was visiting Tallahassee, FL, which is also where I grew up and went to college. Compared to my new life in NYC, it is very green, sunny, relaxed, and friendly there. Also Southern!

So I haven't done large-ish painting like this since I first tried it out at the Howl Festival at Tompkins Square Park back in July, but I absolutely love it so much. I find it incredibly satisfying and fulfilling. I want to do it all day.

Here are two pics:





I have video footage too which I hope to share soon.

Thanks Caitlin for letting me paint like this!
