I think I'll make these kinds of posts on a regular basis considering the eclectic and random nature of this blog and bring a little more structure of the site. I'm still gonna post the crazy shit I find on the net that interest me, now I'm gonna steer it in a certain direction.
Ok, with that out of the way, anyone who sorta reads what little I write on this blog before watching the videos with the bright, shiny colors and loud noises knows I'm a freak for cartoons and animation. I'd like to share with ya'll an animator I've known about for a long while now: Don Hertzfeldt. His animation and drawings are simple but still makes amazing and funny-as-hell animated shorts.
We'll start off with the Intermission shorts he did for the traveling Animation Show he did with Mike Judge a few years ago..
Welcome to the show...
Billy's Balloon
Ah, L'amour
Genre
Lily and Jim Pt.1
Lily and Jim Pt.2
Last but not least, we have the short that won him a little gold-man statue. It's so good I plunked down 20 bucks for the DVD and it's only a 9 minute film. :P
Rejected
He's got 3 more shorts I haven't had the opportunity to see: The Meaning of Life and Everything Will Be OK. He's traveling the country right now with a show called "An Evening With Don Hertzfeldt" with his latest work "I Am So Proud Of You". The last show date is in Los Angeles on November 30th, I hope I can snag a couple of tickets, it'd be pretty awsome to see it on th big screen and maybe even meet the man behind these twisted visions.
Head over to his website BitterFilms.com, be a consumer whore and support him. I'm sure he'll appreciate it with a cute cartoon blood orgy.
