Paco Sordo, who has worked as a background artist on El Tigre at Ireland’s Boulder Media, has released a new Spanish-language, Flash-animated short. Like a great many artists, he’s standing on the shoulders of giants – nodding to John K, Nick Cross, Gabe Swarr and other disciples of the Spumco legacy. The project is titled Coleguita de la calle, and he drew most everything on paper first and then digitally inked the work in Flash. The backgrounds were drawn on paper, cleaned up in Illustrator and Photoshop. There is an accompanying web comic, and from what I’ve read, we’re to expect somewhat regular episodes. Let’s hope there’s an English subtitled version down the road.
Get to the point, dammit! There’s just too much sexual innuendo. Def Leppard wants you to Pour Some Sugar on Me, Led Zeppelin is going to “squeeze my lemon ’til the juice runs down my leg,” and AC/DC claim that they’ve got “the biggest balls of them all.” Okay, that’s not even an innuendo.
Dan Meth is gonna set it straight with this animated music video, titled Anatomically Correct Slow Jam. Vincent Keating is on vocals, and Meth brought in his pals Adam Rosette and Josh Weisbrod to help with animation. [NSFW]
Terminator Salvation hits theaters tomorrow, so what better time to enjoy the original 1984 Terminator movie, as interpreted by The 30-Second Bunnies Theatre? [NSFW - f-bombs]
Bored Stiff was drawn directly in Flash by Louis Hudson of Dice Productions, a collective that includes Hudson, Ian Ravenscroft and Tom Reid. Yes this is gross, but you love it. I hope.
The new Arj and Poopy episode has arrived! We’ve been sitting here by our computer ever since Congo Windfall (which took 7th in the Flash Animation 10) released, and our wait has finally ended. Episode 11, titled Poetreet, was written by comedian/actor Arj Barker (who plays Dave on Flight of the Conchords) and directed and animated by ex-Disney feature animator Bernard Derriman, who has been interviewed here not once (in 2005), but twice (again in 2008). Derriman, who has used Flash a great deal in the past, created this episode using Toon Boom. Lastly – Adam Phillips helped out with the lighting and Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille) provided the voice of the street poet.
