Details from Azarath title card

As has been my habit for the last few years, I created an animation to go along with an interview I did for Dreams of Consciousness. I spent a few weeks on the drawings for this, but the animation goes by so quickly that you can't see any of the detail.

The illustration is of the Haserot angel, a graveside monument with distinctive stains that look like tears. A crying angel seemed like an appropriate accompaniment for a death metal band..

Redtix Motion Graphics

Here are some motion graphics I created for AirAsia's Redtix website.

HOPE AND CHOPPA

Grub

Here's a new animation piece I've been working on. I'm trying to get back into doing After Effects regularly. I haven't done any animation since the last Chodega piece that went up last year. I've been working on this since the end of March; I probably could have done it in a few weeks, but my animation skills are rusty, and my attention kept getting pulled away by my metal blog and podcast.

This piece was based on a recent train sketch. I was thinking of a burger and fries, except instead of a burger it was this weird burnt mutant guy, and instead of fries it was a pile of worms. Then the mutant guy gets impaled by a kebab stick. The animation kind of directed itself.

I'm hoping to do a new animation every month from now on. Right now I'm drawing a blank as to what to do next, but no doubt it will be just as weird and gross. I realized while I was watching the finished video for the 1000th time that I'd probably be in a pretty good place career-wise if I wasn't pathologically hell-bent on alienating the "right" people and getting acclaim from the "wrong" people. All I know is when I'm gone I'd rather be hanging out with George Carlin than Steve Jobs.

Fowlkes Backtracks on Askren

An exchange on 17:30 of this week's Co-Main Event Podcast inspired the following waste of good Adobe Suite software:

Thomas E. Dewey still doesn't know who won the election

Horrorfest Flyers

Old flyers for my yearly horror movie marathons.  Can't find the one from 2008, but it had Jason Voorhees on it and was pretty sweet.

UPDATE: Here it is. It was printed on gold paper, because ooooh, shiny.

Haters Gonna Hate

Bored of staring at code, decided to have some fun with the poster for the upcoming season of Breaking Bad.  Nowhere near the ingenious pop culture riffing of Olly Moss, but it should tickle some message boards.  Spread it on the interwebs kiddies!
