Mountains come out of the sky, and they STAND THERE.

They decidedly do NOT come out of the ground and move around.

I have an absolutely MASSIVE headache today, but I’m still working on a bit of animation. Here’s the latest still.

Center: a stylized bearded man looks at viewer. Right: the words MEMORY PRISON in a 19-point star. Blues and reds on white paper.

As does “Dance No. 4” from Glass’s Dance Nos. 1-5.

And I do enjoy Forty Guns.

Yeah, these look interesting to me! Hoping they’ll appear on the Channel so I can check them out before buying.

I’ve been curious about this set, even though I’m not a big Westerns guy.

Working on some animation today to keep my mind off **gestures vaguely at the entire universe**

Here’s the latest still image.

#animation #filmsky #animationsky

Bald young man with a goatee, arms raised his shirt open exposing one man nipple, is dancing. He is made of horizontal lines. Colors go from dark blue at left to red in the center and purple at far right. At bottom right appear the words FROM A FILM and the number 635.

Just wanna say that “Dance 2” from Einstein on the Beach goes HARD.

Time for an old scan from my sketchbook scrapbook—I think these are all from the end of 2020?

Might be a good weekend to relax and watch my bonkers animated film, 5000 Space Aliens.

It’s streaming free on Tubi! Free is a very good price!

And with respect to Chicago’s song “If You Leave Me Now:"

“If you leave me now, you’ll take away the biggest part of me”…so would that be your femur (by length), your liver (by weight), or your skin (by square footage)?

Chicago,
With respect to your song "Saturday In The Park":

You remember an individual man, what he was selling, and *what language he was singing*, yet you are not sure if this visit occurred on the Fourth of July, the anniversary of our nation's birth.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I ask you

Last night, I did a Croterion Channel double feature:

1. Nightshift (Robina Rose, 1981).
2. Change of Fate (Kira Muratova, 1987).

Both are pretty great, but I loved the whole vibe of Nightshift so much.

Poster for the 1981 film Nightshift. A pale young woman sits at a hotel reception desk, looking at the viewer enigmatically. Dark warm colors.
