The touch



This is Dee. He's going to star in my BFA thesis project which will be completed next year.
Obviously Dee is based on myself in that he understands the rules before breaking them (he's a "hacker" in the same way that MacGuyver is a "hacker" - finding alternate ways to use stuff). He's an inventor and tinkerer and has a dirigible made out of the old, unwanted technologies from the past.

I'm still hammering out the story, but I have a character and the message I want to convey.

Also, I've scored a minidisk player/recorder. Apparently, technology likes me; My older brother ditched it because it was broken (I managed so MAGICALLY fix it!). I guess I just have that special touch with machines!

Origin of Species

I was going through my old stuff when I found this file. It's the first ever appearance of my "Oh Noes" characters in any of my cartoons (and probably my first ever FINISHED one).

Yes, it's tweened.

Yes, it's based on real events.

Yes, it's a timeless classic. I hope. It still applies to me today (THIS WEEK EVEN!)
