2009 Seeing as though my old video from 2007 "Cat Gun" has been getting a lot of attention on Yahoo! Video lately (compared to my other videos) and was on their front page, I figured I'd post it on my front page as well. "Cat Gun" has gotten the most views of my videos since my old YouTube account was suspended in 2007. It figures, considering it's the only video I'm not actually in. But anyway, congratulations to Ben and Felix on their very, very minor stardom. I'd like to make a Cat Gun t-shirt but I doubt I will. 3 new live-action videos may be coming pretty soon. One from my trip to Chicago and two other original short films I have ideas for. |

2009 A new cartoon is coming in August. It once again stars Ryan and Felix, and this time they're seeking relaxation therapy on a weekend fishing trip. This is my first fully-animated cartoon short since 2007 and may be my last. I'm not releasing it online until it's screened at Webster University and I'm not sure when that will be. But it is coming soon. |

2009 Ugh... Fucking May already... what the fuck... Did I drink the time away?... No more fucking vodka... I got to meet with Disney animator/movie director Joe Haidar again this weekend while he was in town. We sat around and he gave me some tips on character design. So I've posted just a few of his many drawings. He just finished working on Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel and his own award-winning film Animated American is being showcased in numerous film festivals. I got to see it today and it is a cool mixture of live-action and traditional animation, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Does anyone even come here anymore? I don't blame you if you don't. I haven't made a decent cartoon in two years. Could this be the death of FARToons? It is quite possible. Stay tuned to find out. |

May 10, 2008 Due to the recent controversy over The Wish Fish Family I have edited together a politically correct version of the cartoon for our viewers without a sense of humor. I hope you enjoy! Just one stupid ass paper left before I am finished with school... for a week. Then I have to return for summer classes. Is that a bunch of bullshit or what? |

May 05, 2008 Kinematifest turned out to be one of the most awkward moments of my life with the screening of The Wish Fish Family, accompanied by total shock and disgust. People started out laughing but once the racist jokes kicked in "BAM!" I'm the most hated man in America. I am sure to get gangbanged or shot sometime this week, but it was worth it just to not be censored, which I am very grateful for. Sure it sucks that I pissed off some fellow students and an instructor who now think I'm a total bigot, but alas, isn't that what this now AWARD-WINNING web site is all about? Pissing people off. Download my acceptance speech to see just how awkward it really was. |
