Oops, I forgot to post the last SuperNews episode, "Gates vs. Jobs".

This has been pretty popular and was the #1 viral video of last week according to www.viralvideochart.com.

So today is supposed to be the last day I'll be working on the so-called ""ultra-secret-biopharmaceutical" animation. Then I can go back to the neato stop-motion lip-sync video!

Last Friday I animated a working copy machine for an upcoming SuperNews episode. The irony nearly killed me. Art imitating life. And then as if that wasn't enough, I actually repaired the color laser-jet printer in Current's LA studio! Life imitating art imitating life.

Well, I have been working on a stop-motion animation music video to one of my old songs, "Seven". The lyrics will be entirely lipsynced! I am afraid that this project is going to be on hold for a little while... anyone recall the "ultra-secret-biopharmaceutical" animation that I did about a year ago? Didn't think so. Well they have asked me to do a follow-up animation and for some reason I agreed. (Oh yeah, money.) So the stop-motion will be on hold for a while. But here are some stills to hold you over!

New SuperNews episode, "State of the Union"!

Here's a still from a deleted scene: (UPDATE: Image no longer available)

I drew the Jim Webb caricature and put together the set. There was also another deleted scene with a caricature of a certain other important Democratic figure that I did... but I don't think I'm supposed to talk about that one, haha.

New SuperNews episode, "Revenge of the Nerds" style! I did the music for this one too! Watch "Revenge of the Democratic Nerds".

I added some new wallpapers to my DOWNLOADS section. The new ones are from "Carol of the Robots", "On Water", and an old one that I never posted from "Storybook 2: A Special Visit From Gel"

Old clay animation with a new song! "5 Busy Shapes"

I can't believe it's been 10 years, wow. André (aka "gel") and I animated this for an elementary school in 1997. There was something magical about an auditorium full of elementary school kids laughing and cheering for our movie!

This week, I re-recorded the narration and voices and composed a new song for it! (The song actually features a percussion section which includes glass bottles and forks along with slapping my knee and the back of the guitar!)

Anyone see Bush's Iraq speech? Well we whipped out this episode about it in one day! "Iraq Speech Outtakes".

Ok so not only did I re-do the way the news works internally, but I put it on the main page, something I've been contemplating for a long time. I hate to clutter the page and I liked that when you got here you just had to choose where you wanted to go right away, but maybe this will save some clicking.

I can now add pictures easily, so here's a shot from a stop-motion music video I'm working on (off and on)!
