The video I animated for the Black Eyed Snakes’ “Rise Up!” is still sneakin’ around. It’ll be screened at the Sound Unseen festival in Minneapolis, September 28 – October 4th.

It’ll also show up at IFP’s Cinema Lounge

This, in addition to it being on MNTV, another IFP project that airs on Twin Cities Public Television, and it’ll be at the Walker Art Center next spring, shown in the lobby on the Best Buy video kiosks.

I’ve done some work for CASDA, the Center Against Sexual and Domestic Abuse, including their logo many years ago. Here’s a TV ad for this year’s Run/Walk that uses some music I recorded many, many more years ago. On my Fostex 4-track that just recently died on me.

This weekend was the Homegrown Music Video Festival. Friday night I drew “Rise Up!” by the Black-Eyed Snakes out of the big tophat filled with songs. Then we had the weekend to make a music video. So this is what I did. If you ain’t from around these parts, you probably won’t get some of the local references. But hopefully you can enjoy it anyway.
The big premiere was Monday. I couldn’t make it, but I heard it was fabulous fun. 13 entries all together. Dang good for a first-time event.

And Friday, I’ll be playing with Tangier 57 at the Red Star, and we’ll have an apron fashion show with Rachel Hart of Apron Elegance. Swanky sassy fun.

I posted an animation demo reel and some full-length animated ads I’ve done. Look for the Animation tab at the top, or just click here.

Here is an intermission cartoon I did for the Free Range Film Fest, held in a huge old barn on an organic farm. It played during intermissions.

This was fun to work on. I animated the volcano. And helped choreograph the dancing. And the music. And got to test the slides.
Wheee.

Whoo’da thunk that beer swillin’ Duluthians would host a polo match.
Here are 2 TV ads for the event.

Don’t you think it’s time for a new genre of movie? We’ve had the road movie, the horror flick, breakdance movies, and now… bowling movies.
