So i've been busy, really busy.

Most of my time these last few weeks have been spent working on my very first proper television commercial and I will probably show it off if it ever makes its way online. I guess the fact that I am making things like TV commercials now is proof that anybody can make a living doing flash animation if they put there mind too it. God knows there are plenty of people here that are a billion times more deserving then I am, just got to learn to put yourself out there I suppose.

I also just released my newest animation, called . Recurring Dream. Its a step in the direction I want to take with my animation going forward, after spending the last few years focusing on super clean vector animation, I feel like I pushed that style as far as I could with The Telescope and that its time to move on.

Going forward I want to stop having to make flash for both video and the .swf format, and I hope that with the new Newgrounds redesign Tom caters to people who feel like they are being limited by the primitive artificial barriers of flash. I want to start exploring the use of image backgrounds painted in ArtRage as well as effects work done in After Effects more and more going forward, and having to release gimped versions of film based in Flash just for hosting on one website seems a little wasteful. Even this short animation has some effects in the youtube version that I just couldn't put into the flash version, which was a real pain. But im sure Tom is aware of this tho and is working out the issue.

I also recently rereleased all 8 episodes of my 2005 series Bricks Are Fun. They might not seem like much now, but back in 2005, on DeviantArt at least, they were top tier comedy. Boy am I glad we have progressed past those days. You can check the out below. They certainly havent aged well, but its like looking into a time portal to 6 years ago.

Im looking at making 8 new episodes this year, with new art and a more modern format. Heres hoping they work out well.

Now something I havent been doing lately, and its something that people have been complaining about with my more modern news posts on here, is that ive been skimping out on the ytpmv. So here we go. Hopefully this will make up for the lack of it in the last few months.

Heres a new shot from Gerkinman Returns. And im out.
