WatchJojo in the Stars by Studio AKA, 2004
I’ve waited quite a while for this to be available. Grotesque and beautiful at the same time. Haunting visuals and a heart-wrenching story.

WatchThe Moops by Darren Price at Mighty Nice, 2012
I can’t find much information on this delightful standalone preview of a work-in-development by Australian studio “Mighty Nice”. But they achieved a nice stop-motion-style render and playful animation that is well worth showing off. Let’s see some more!

Anonymous asked: If you had it to do again, and could attend school anywhere, would you still pick MCAD? Just curious. You came up today when I was talking to someone making a decision about school (for an MFA) and their future in art. Love and hugs ;)

WatchHavana Heat by Simon and mcbess and The Mill, 2012
Another slick, stylish ad from UseGoodBooks. Smart script, hot color and design. It doesn’t top Buck’s, but still worth posting. Thanks, Tony Blinco.

A really impressive chase, and tons of fun. The antagonist moves like a dream. Not suitable for coprophobes!

WatchDeaths by Daniel Semanas, 2012
Great animation and illustration style in one. A trip through the many undignified deaths a rock and roller can succumb to. Thanks Jamil!
