Happy new year! My animation "Carol of the Robots" was voted the #1 holiday submission on Newgrounds.com! Thanks for all of the votes!
I'm thinking of revamping this news section. I thought I was all clever when I figured out how to type into a text file on my server which would automatically appear on this page... but I have to type out the code for everything like hyperlinks, even line breaks. I want to start adding photos and multimedia and the process right now is so daunting it really keeps me from wanting to post all the time (for all 3 people who are reading this, haha.) Anyway, we'll see.

Man, I really suck at keeping the news up to date. If you are reading this and you aren't on my mailing list yet, just shoot me an email and I'll add you. That way you'll know of the latest projects and SuperNews episodes!
I just finished my musical-robot animation entitled "Carol of the Robots"!
We also just finished our Christmas SuperNews episode "Christmas Wars".
On Tuesday, animation pioneer Joseph Barbera (of "Hanna-Barbera") passed away, and Current TV is airing a story about him. SuperNews creator Josh Faure-Brac and I appear in the segment and share our thoughts on his legacy, so be sure to look out for it! You can always see what's coming up on Current here: current.com/currenttv.

Lots of new SuperNews episodes since my last post, be sure to check them out here! I even got to record a song for the Halloween episode! Watch "Star-Spangled Terror".
I am reeeaaally close to finishing my New Numa animation, so be sure to check back!
I made a few updates to the site, but I have much more I want to still do. For now I just separated the movies/animation from the games. This should make much more sense now, plus I didn't really have enough games for an entire section before. But what will really be awesome is when I finally get around to putting up the music for each and every game. Right now in order to hear the music you have to play the game all the way through. I want people to be able to come to this site to hear the music quickly and easily, so I'll be making that change in the not-too-distant future (I hope!)

Guess what! I finally registered a new domain, www.dustfilms.com since this site is no longer just about music, and is actually mostly about my movies. Both urls still work, but I'm going to try to transition everything over.
In other exciting news, the TV network that I work for Current TV joined forces with Yahoo! to create a site with some slick video channels: Action Sports, Driver, Traveler and Buzz. video.yahoo.com/currenttv For the launch, us SuperNews guys created 3 new shows to fit with the categories! You can watch them all here:
-Speed World with Crystal Matt (part 1)
-Speed World with Crystal Matt (part 2)
-Bro vs. Brah
-Around the World With the Ugly American
(UPDATE: The Yahoo! Current thing didn't last for long and these links no longer work.)

I finished my first "solo" project since I began working with SuperNews! I actually started it back in April, but it sat here for a while and I just picked it back up a couple of weeks ago.
Watch "On Water".
It's created entirely with crayon drawings, scanned into the computer. And thanks to Newgrounds.com for sponsoring it!
Our SuperNews episodes have been on hold for a while, while we work on some other top-secret projects, but those will be seen soon hopefully! I've even had the chance to do some original music which is fun.

Holy Cow! I didn't think it had been this long since I posted anything. I guess time flies when you having fun! Or working hard. Or both at the same time... which is exactly what I've been doing! I have been enjoying my new job VERY much... I get to draw and animate all day long now. The downside is that by the time I get home, the last thing I want to do is work on more animation, so I don't know when on earth I'll be making another movie on my own.
Many people have been asking me when I'll be putting something new up on Newgrounds.com and I honestly don't know, so that's sort of a bummer. But there are far too many upsides to working as an animator full time on a tiny show like this. Speaking of which, be sure to check out the latest episodes, there is a new one about every 2 weeks! Click here to watch! Be sure to keep an eye out for the show on Current TV which is channel 366 on Direct TV and channel 107 on Comcast.
I recently put a nice version of "Spin" up on Google Video and also YouTube so be sure to pass those along to your friends! Oh and in case you didn't already know, you can find me on MySpace at www.myspace.com/pileofdust.
(UPDATE: I switched it to www.myspace.com/dustfilms)

Incredible news! After 6 years of driving all around Southern California repairing printers, I am moving on. I have accepted a position as an animator with the show Super News on the Current TV Network. (Check your local listings!) In fact, there are only 2 guys who currently work on the show, and they needed a third multi-talented fellow to join the team, so it sounds like I'll actually be getting to do... whatever it is I can do! Animation, sound, music, voices etc. I'm unbelievably excited! I'll be starting May 11th.
