I see a lot of great posts about animation that I know I can’t appreciate.
I don’t know anything about traditional techniques. I don’t key, and I barely storyboard. I don’t know anything about colour wheels or colour theory. I don’t know anything about ‘the greats’ until I hit up wikipedia and most of the time I hardly know what I’m doing at all.
How I’ve gotten away with being an animator all this time is anyone’s guess.

I came up with a concept for the most gender neutral, non-offensive toy in existence. I really hope companies will wake up and realize the potential of this incredible product.
It’s essentially a Rubik’s Cube completely devoid of colour or challenge. No discrimination and best of all, EVERYONE can ‘enjoy’ it.
Someone sat down and invented the gun.
A gun is a cold, grey piece of metal you hold in your hand.
You forcibly squeeze a trigger until a hammer smashes into the back causing an explosion that flings a blunt chunk of metal at another human being’s body rupturing and tearing and destroying everything in it’s path.
There is no reality where a gun isn’t the most violent mechanism created by a human being.

This is a story made originally for my Year 10 Health assignment on Mental Heath and Illnesses, but it doubled as an artwork at the 2011 Mindscapes festival and was made around R U Okay Day. Either way, people need to know about the seriousness of some mental conditions.
Remember when you read this story, to follow the lines that connect the boxes. They’re drawin in a “hard to follow” way intentionally.
