The Alpha version of the highly anticipated Blender 2.8 is available for download here. If you are new to Blender (I sure am) and want to try out Grease Pencil then hopefully this video can help get you started.

To mark 22 years to the day since “22 Short Films About Springfield” first aired (and to shamelessly get in on a popular meme), a bunch of animators re-made the visuals of the “Steamed Hams” sequence in 13-second blocks, each in their own unique art style and skill level. This is the result. Animators, in order of segment:

0:06 Joe Brennan 0:18 Mike Breychak 0:31 Ryan “R. Wappin” Krzak 0:44 Andrew “TmsT” Kepple 0:57 Austin Davis - https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCGGaAY… 1:10 Nick Leong - http://instagram.com/nickleongart/ 1:23 Grant Wooley - https://www.youtube.com/user/WooleyWorld 1:36 Jeff “Aperture Jam” Cook 1:50 Rob Yulfo - https://www.youtube.com/user/anthraxy… 2:02 Anonymous 2:15 Brandon Thompson 2:28 Chris “Lepy” Meyer - https://twitter.com/slurpbert 2:41 Guy Incognito Please enjoy!~

My segment for the animation collaboration "Steamed Hams but There's a Different Animator Every 13 Seconds". A lot of great styles and all around weirdness in the full clip. Well done to all the animators who participated. #steamedhams #thesimpsons #simpsons #animation #collaboration (at Springfield, Oregon)

Here is a side-by-side of my background art for my #rubberOnionChallenge #animation submission. Pencil sketch to digital. You can see what got used, what got moved and what got cut! #LabourWeekend #cartoon #aperturejam

Here’s a character design of a Rancor from an unfinished project. A long, long time ago… 2013 actually.

Happy new trailer day!
