That one time I met Weird Al at a book signing. (2013) I'm grinning like a doof because this was taken right after he asked for my business card "in case we want to use you for something"
Here’s my standalone segment for Weird Al’s Polkamania video. You can see a bit more of the fridge falling here, because I ended up cutting into the next segment a bit.
I’m thrilled to announce
that Weird Al invited me to animate a segment on his new video, POLKAMANIA! Watch it its awesome. (Link below.)

Here's some landlord bits I finished up. I say finished up because I was working pretty closely to

's cool and crazy drawings.

Here's another picture of me with Bill Plympton, (from 2010), who I've also been a big fan of. He's the one that did the "Shape of You" segment right before mine.
Here's a couple crazy shots from the newest

's boards are on top and my animation before all the dust effects on the bottom. I didn't do Jason (the butterfly) though. If someone can fill me in on who did, please do.
The funny thing these pictures have in common is that I only found out they were in town THAT DAY and had to rush to the first train there to make it in time.
Here's something people might enjoy seeing. Back in 2014 when Mandatory Fun came out, I started doing a video for "My Own Eyes." I realized quickly that I couldn't afford to spend months on unpaid work like when I was 18, but but I did like 15 seconds of storyboard.
The response to my Polkamania segment has been amazing! I didn't even think that many people would remember me. Thanks for enjoying and all the nice comments. If you're a new follower, stick around for future works!
Some of the original drawings from Albuquerque The Movie. I remember there being more but I cant find them right now. Wish I could find the first Miracle Machine.
Behold, The Presidents of the United States! I made an educational cartoon about them with
@HuggbeesTV
. Feel free to use it to study for your history test:
Here's an effect I'm pretty proud of from Super Meat Boy Forever - the shield from the Tetanus boss. I did it all in flash with nested symbols and it really ate up my CPU.

Some animation from the upcoming Super Meat Boy game! Animated by
@PaulterVoorde
, cleaned up by me. Really looking forward to it coming out. We did tons of cutscene stuff.
I did a lot of animation on Smiling Friends season 2, and basically, everyone should be hyped for the rest of the season in May because they're really good.
Ray, the cheerful truther. This character used to be a white guy with blue hair, but among other reasons, I got tired of people saying he looked like Danny Phantom.
Man, I’ve never had close to the engagement as I’m getting on that Smiling Friends shot. If only I were a budding Soundcloud artist I could push my profile right about now.
Around 378 million of you told us to make Smiling Friends. So we’re making Smiling Friends with
@MichaelRCusack
and
@psychicpebble
and it’s coming this year. Yay!
Full Spectrum Souls- long comic introducing an even bigger project that I want to have animated someday. A new page will be posted to this thread every day until I run out. It's gonna be pretty unusual. I hope people can still enjoy something strange and new.
Great work
@rwappin
I can still only think of this ref video we sent to the board artist to get the realistic to-and-fro movement in as early as possible.
@MichaelRCusack
and I both look very weak and non threatening, I wish I were strong.

@YouTube
This happened to my channel as well. Wasted my time with appeals and none worked. No way to talk to a real person. Guess I'll never make a dime with Youtube.
The devil will try to get you to believe that his thoughts are your real ones and your real ones are the delusional ones. The spiritual warfare behind that one concept is insane. It is how an NPC is created over time
@goo_ish
He did! The first thing I told him was that I made those videos, which is when he told me he was a fan and asked for my card. Naturally, I was stoked.
I will be making a separate twitter account soon for End Times (the animated series I want to make.) Even though Ive sparsely posted about it I’ve been writing material for it pretty consistently over the past couple years. A lot of it pretty intense.
