So I assume most of anyone who could possibly be reading this follow me for my art, but I’m actually trained as an animator, and I’ve got an exciting new project. It’s called Cartoon Mess LIVE. It’s hosted by a cartoon duck named Duck. My hope is that it is a live-streaming series that feels like Wayne’s World meets The Muppets meets Bob Ross, and at the moment, I don’t know of anything else like it on the internet.

If that sounds good to you, please tune in on: Monday December 10th at 5:30pm PST via https://www.twitch.tv/tomthinks to witness the first official episode. 

I’ve been working on this for months, and have done a lot of practice sessions, but this will be my first official episode that will feature live cartoons, music, a live musical guest, maybe a prize(?) and some puns. I perform all of the cartoons via my magical custom system that I hand-coded.

My friend, Tom DesLongchamp, beautifully drew one of my Vines. If you are on Vine, you may have heard of him. He’s Tomthinks, and he makes up ridiculous characters, and has gained quite a following. 

Thanks for the drawing, Tom.

Hi guys, I made a trailer for my Youtube channel. Why? Because Youtube said I should. 

Take a look and subscribe. Or don't!

Hi Tom! Several years ago when I was younger, I discovered your early animation clips (thanks to recommendations on another site I visited), and I got a kick out of the creativity of everything on your website. I recently remembered your work and was pleasantly surprised to find that you had a blog here on Tumblr. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for making such cool creations, and keep up the good work :D -Tyler

Hey Tyler! Thanks for the message. Yeah, I like the Tumblr setup. It's simple and easy to update. I still have my tomthinks.com website, but since it's more complicated to update/organize, things just end up on here more often. I've always had an overwhelming amount of ideas and projects going on, but it's frustrating for me to have to think about how to display and organize it... so thanks to you, Tumblr creators. And thanks again to you, Tyler, for the support and encouragement. Sometimes it feels like I'm making art, packing it into a rocket and blasting it off into space, hoping aliens will find it, but you've proven today that there are people watching and listening. Aliens do exist!
