ELM

Here's an animation I made for a the video wall in St. Louis City Garden.  ELM won 1st prize as part of Cinema at City Garden competition put on by Cinema St. Louis, and awards for animation and sound design @ 2012 St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase. It will play @ 2012 St. Louis International Film Festival this fall.

...and here are a few animated favorites that were big inspirations.

Pun On the Run

Telephone Sketchbook @ SPACE Con 2012

The rules of this sketchbook are:  1) If you're looking at a drawing, turn the page and describe what you saw.  If your looking at a written description, turn the page and draw what you read.  2) Pass it on. Some have called it "The Paper Game" and apparently some call it "Eat Poop You Cat". 

The following sketches, made graciously by many of the artists and writers who attended SPACE  Indie Comic Con 2012 this past weekend, complete the sketchbook started at Homegrown Comic Jam in Saint Louis last year.(The first half of the book can be found here Telephone Sketch @ the Comic Jam)

Many thanks to all the artists who participated. And, let me know if you would like me to link back to your site.

  

ELM

 New animation forthcoming.  In the mean-time this post is to take care of some business. I used a number of public domain sound effects from SoundBible.com in the production of said animation "ELM". The following list is an attempt to credit each sound's source.

This cup was found near the Schnucks on Arsenal. Cup has a green logo "The Green Hornet in 3D" and a "Hardees" logo in red/yellow and is approx. 32 oz.(possibly a collector's item). Cup still contains some Soda. If this is your cup, you will be able to correctly indentify the remaining soda.

If cup is not claimed by the end of the week I will have to throw out the remaining soda and recycle it as i have alot of cups and dont have room for another 32 oz. cup.
