Crazy 8s
To brush up on my animation skills, I took a class in Drawing for Animation at Shoreline Community College. I have experience in animating for games, but they are very limited in scope since they are mostly repeating cycles due to keeping filesizes and the games small. Also, most animations I have created were animated by code, bits and pieces of art put together like a paper puppet. This class focused on full animation and the big project was to create a 30 second pencil test, which was quite the challenge. The class really helped me to refocus on how to animate and giving my animations more life. Additionally, I learned/relearned about certain animators that were inspiring, especially Grim Natwick and UPA animators.
Below are the model sheets and storyboard for “Crazy 8s”. I decided to animate a cereal commercial, inspired by those wacky characters from my childhood. I always thought the commercials were sometimes more interesting than the cartoons I watched.
Watch the movie below the cut!

Vintage Mattel Monkey-ola toy spotted as a prop in a boutique store.
Cereal Comics
Cereal ads in old comics are quite fun to read, as they reflect their TV counterparts on Saturday mornings (do they still have Saturday morning cartoons anymore?). I found these three in an old The Flinstones with Pebbles Gold Key comic (#22, 1964). My favorite is the Lucky Charms ad, but look how boring the box is! (Speaking of cereal boxes, check out these Jay Ward inspired designs.) I don’t know who drew these comics, but I’m researching who the cartoonists are. Man, I would so love to have that job drawing cereal ads.
That one kid in the Lucky Charms ad looks suspiciously like a chipmunk.

Ephemera Collection – “Christmas Magic”
Here’s a holiday themed post! “Christmas Magic” is a 16 page pamphlet put out by 3M (Scotch tape) on creative ways to wrap presents. The booklet and it’s content is unremarkable save for the small spot illustrations of Santa Claus in various poses. Not sure when this was published, possibly the late 60s or early 70s. I’ve made a montage of the illustrations below. Happy holidays, everyone!
