An ugly new Knob Head
New apartment, new life, old hobby.
Yesterday was quite a nice day.
I sat down in the new little hobby room we set up, got a nice place to animate now I thought to myself, so I sat down and played around with some lego cars I collect and animated them driving around on the desk and then quickly moved onto the floor and started animating a bit more of this car chase thing I was doing.
I mean, it didn't turn out fantastic but it was a nice fun little mess around that I haven’t been able to sit down and do for years.
A few years back I was working on a project called Knob Head, it was a dark, straight to the point little clip about a shut in clay figure with tooth ache who opts for the easy way out.
And now I’m sat contemplating where I stand with this project, because it’s been on my mind ever since. I left a completed puppet and a set at home, which is in another country now, but I believe I can complete this now...
I animated yesterday.
So I finally sat down and set up on the desk to animate something. Jesus, it’s been awhile, that was hard work. Everything turned out looking like crap, not that I was expecting to be able to produce a masterpiece..
I’m going to rebuild my skills and hopefully get around to finally finishing up some projects from the past. Phew.
Stay tuned..
The state of things.
I want to make a post today to talk about the status of certain things, mostly animation and stuff.
I don’t really expect anyone to read this, but I know I had a few friends back in the day on this page and on Youtube, no idea where you went but I hope one day you end up seeing this and remember me as that Youtube dude.
I've always enjoyed having a personal touch in my posts and my old work, it’s very nice to go back and look through to just see how things once were. I like to see that old clock I used to have on my desk in my old videos, and how I used to clean my desk with pledge furniture polish to get rid of finger prints and clay stains. It makes me remember, it’s kind of sweet but also kind of sad.
I don’t like change, I prefer it to be subtle and sneaky. Making big changes is scary to me and opens you up to all kinds of new and scary things. But these things can be great, they can be exciting, fun, new and most of all; better than what you used to have.
Theres a small comfort in thinking about how this laptop I’m typing on is the same laptop I used to type on when I was active in the animation community.
I think that things have changed and people have changed, but not me, I feel the same, just have a bigger number next to my name. Everyone changed around me but I was just stuck in the past not really moving forward, but I wanted to move forward. I liked adventure. But it was scary. It would often make me feel sick.
Interactive media is changing, people are changing and I feel like I’m caught in the middle of it, not having the chance to keep up with it, just like a lagging clock.
Videos grow shorter, attention spans also. It just feels like nobody has the time for anything anymore. Even this post, which reads like teenage angst.
I’ve always enjoyed writing, and animating. Animation is still my “Thing”. It’s what people know me for, and will ask me about it when they haven’t seen me for a while. “You still doing that thing with playdoh on youtube” “No not really, I don’t have the time.”
And there it is. Time. I do have it. I just don’t use it. It’s what we all say, that we don’t have the time. I have time because otherwise I wouldn't be writing this. It’s just a really easy excuse to use when you can’t be bothered.
It’s not always the case, this I know.
I always wanted to be a slave to the clay, the clay works me more than I work it. Trust me, it is frustrating when you can’t even control what you have the most creative control over in the world.
I feel like some kind of idiot #inspo blogger dude when I write this but I’m just writing down my thoughts, it’s actually quite therapeutic and relaxing to come to terms with some thoughts, some nagging feelings. “When you going to start animating again?” Is a common thought of mine. I would love to do it, but it’s so easy not to when all my clay and stuff is packed away and my laptop, that I previously praised, runs like shit dripping from a dogs ass. Specifically a dogs ass.
Anyway for now bye.

New Post 01 or how I haven't done anything this year.
Long time no see, or speak, or type. Words, sometimes they mean something.
Uhmm, anyway.. I haven't been knocking about on my Youtube page or in the animation community at all so far this year, pretty out of the loop to be honest with you. I just had an urge to start typing away on here like I used to do back in the blogger days, as I would end up typing up a load of nonsense but I think people enjoyed reading my mish mashed words of wisdom or something.
No, let's get to serious stuff. What have I actually been up to? Life. That's what. Sometimes it kicks you in the face and wipes out all traces of motivation and interest in anything you used to enjoy, as is my case.
I know people took an interest in the small things I posted on youtube so I wouldn't abandon any of them, so I try to at least post on my blog or something every now then so people know that I'm alive.
So do I have any projects in the works? Yes and no.
But what do you mean oh wise one? I mean that I have a project in the works except it's not been touched since early this year... And that is where I stand with animation. I've spent most of this year trying to distract my self from personal problems so I have very little interest in doing any animation or anything remotely productive, unfortunately.
I keep trying to tell my self to just get something done but when I try I don't really enjoy it that much so it ends up in further negative thoughts and a downward spiral of hatred and shite.
I keep thinking about all these projects I've got lined up, all these ideas I've got and I think I know what I need; A boot up my arse and an extra pair of hands. I think I'm starting to realize that I can't do what I want to do on my own, I need help.
Help me, I will sell my body online for your service. No I wont do that, but yeah, in all seriousness, I've got some fucking work to do, big time. I've had some other plans too... I thought about sculpting and painting some 12 inch Guy statues and perhaps selling them or giving them out as prizes for competitions or something like that, these are just small ideas I've not had much time to elaborate on since I only thought of this last night before I went to sleep.
But yes, that's all for the time being, I promise to work harder and bring more blog posts to your homepages pretty soon rather than years down the line, after the war.
My goal is to get some new project pictures shared on this blog instead of disappointing post after disappointing post. Stay tuned.

What is the deal yo.
Just spent the last few hours working on a fancy new channel banner for the top of my Youtube page and the darn thing wont display properly, it just set as my old one for some bizarre reason. So I decide to make a new one that's a bit smaller since I thought maybe it's too big or something, well this time it's too darn small, man.
Fuck.
It doesn't help having limited knowledge in the photoshopping department of canned olives that just so happened to have been canned by someone named Paul.

Amazing.
Animation Projects.
I am seriously behind on animating anything.
I need to begin working on something new soon, whatever it may be. I have plenty of new and interesting ideas just waiting patiently to be worked on.
Got them personal issues getting in the way of everything at the moment, will conquer them and beat them to the ground and then continue to put out some kick ass animation work because I'm sick of not being in the mood to make anything.
My last project was a minor success but it was so hard to work on with other things going on in the background so to speak, it was an absolute pain to get done but I did it in the end. I'm mildly pleased with it, but I find more enjoyment in it when I think back to the early days of my animation stuff when I had nothing to worry about at all.
Enough, I will be drawing some interesting things as a long term goal of mine is to produce a comic/graphic novel which is a complete side project to my animation stuff. I think everything will be fine soon, I need more time to get my self together and then I'll be back on track.
Anyway here is a page of doodles and sketches from last week that someone out there may find interesting.
Here's my recommendation for today, animation by Ken Tyner following a character as he get's sucked through a worm hole into another world.
Great smooth animation and quality story, very well written, has some emotional moments and good character development.
