It’s been forever and a day since I’ve posted! This is one of my favorite using Microsoft paint for 30 minutes animations.

I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things soon!

This is from Sarah Furtado 's birthday session. From so many months back, I am embarrassed to say how late it is (5 months).

Thanks to Sarah for all the support she has given to the LightBox project! And thanks for Dena Haden for having the incredible Co-Creative Center in New Bedford to host this and many other sessions.

Also, thanks to Alison for supplying another excellent soundtrack!

Here we go! Back on track! It’s been a few months of experimentation with all that stuff I’ve been posting on Instagram.

This is the animation 110. Like holy moly, in 2 1/2 years number 110. I’m going to finish out the rest of the year by posting a new animated video every Monday. And then in 2019 I’ll be posting twice a month with experiments and updates in between the regular posts.

The animators for this one were:

Holly Dottie Hickerson of the beautiful Horned Hare Studios
Cameron Cody Hare of the Red Fork Empire
Justinian Stanislaus of the Red Fork Empire
Eric the Animator

With the soundtrack by the amazing Jon Glassett
