fucking brilliant! but sadly it doesn't belong in the brain channel. or cult or art for that matter.


How is an animated, hand drawn comic not sequential *art?

watching this clip and thinking about the future and past made me a depressed 30 year old


I was already a depressed 31 year old before watching it, now I'm looking forward to when I'm 41 and can hook up with 22 year old girls who are old souls.

I still love the style of flash animation he uses!


Doesn't really look like flash to me ... looks more like some sort of tracing paper with him drawing the scenes with perhaps a soft graphite pencil from behind the paper. You can sort of see the vague blurry outlines of his fingers and drawing hand moving around behind the paper. Some cursory searching confirms my suspicion:

[fyi] via http://animationcritic.blogspot.com/:

I actually completely lifted the technique really from an obscure old arthouse movie called The Mystery of Picasso where the filmmaker [Clouzot] spent a few days with Picasso in his studio. Picasso painted on transluscent canvases and [Clouzot] shot him from the other side, shot the canvases from the other side. I sort of took that and just added narration to it.
