An interesting short from Russian animator Ivan Maximov. It’s surreal in that Eastern European surreal way.

Keyframe is a good resource for all things animation. It features a list of online shorts, TV series, even direct to video animated releases. The Coming Soon section is helpful to see what animated features are floating around out there. The usual mix of ‘can’t wait to see’ and titles that no one is sure [...]

Yeah, I’m writing about that animated short again. Looks like it will be playing a few new festivals this year, so I dug out the old website and reposted it.
For those of you who need to know, the Thing with No Head is an animated short I made when enrolled at UCLA. I have [...]

A series of clips from Disney films pulled together by someone for their animation class. It collects their favorite clips from 1920 - 1960. It includes a snip from Elmar Elephant (1936) which I have had a hard time finding anywhere. It’s been on Youtube for 2 years, but I just found it. Man…Some [...]

Once upon a time…well, a few years back anyway, I created a superhero duo called, Nausea Guy and Wicked Boy. They were your typical down-and-out superheroes. Living in a one bedroom in Los Angeles, they had given up fighting against the really big crimes in society and concentrated on things like; people with loud [...]

A link to some short animations from Serge Bloch. He is also an illustrator, one of my favorite illustrators, and you can see his work here. Beautiful line work, funny, inspirational. His style reminds me of another of my all time favorites Javier Mariscal.
This collection of animation uses his style. I’m not sure if [...]

It’s animation time here on my illustration blog. Is that weird? Animation and illustration together? Like peanut butter and bananas?
Well, no intro really needed for Chris Sanders. The co-director of Lilo and Stitch , who is now hard at work at Dreamworks on a new film (I think developed from a John Cleese pitch, [...]

Animation Monday. Where I spend at least 30 minutes looking through my bazillions of bookmarks to find unique animation to post. Or not so unique…sometimes just scary.
I think this is older, and popped up on Cartoon Brew a while back, but some very odd and funny animated shorts at this site. Bunny-things, who seem to [...]
