Scott Batemaniac!

Sweet. Congratulations!!!

How it started: Sisyphus rolling a boulder. How it’s going: Sisyphus rolling a boulder.

At right: a person in sweats is doing a dance move. Behind them, a blimp. To the left of their feet: the words EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAFFIC, EITHER/OR, 194, $1.98, and PERFECT. All of this is at a 27 degree angle. Blue and aqua on white textured paper.

New animation still, who dis?

We’ve been dealing with a small plumbing problem in our house that has spiraled into this thing that is eating our lives. Fun!

And for #LetterboxdFriday, here are my most-watched films since I started logging them three or four years ago:

I’m at 454 for 2025:

Happy #LetterboxdFriday 📽️! What are your #LastFourWatched?

I should explain that I didn’t watch the fourth one this week; it’s an art installation I saw at MoMA a decade ago and just discovered was listed on Letterboxd. Just didn’t watch much this week due to, you know, the world. Laughing emoji!

Center: a highly abstracted dancing person. Above their head: the words THE EVIL THAT MEN DO and C5136. Browns and reds on yellowish resumé paper (nice!).

Working on animation today! Here’s a still.

You can see the actual animated footage I’m working on months (or even years!) before anyone else, EXCLUSIVELY on my Patreon. $1/month gets you weekly videos!

I’m a super-indie, self-funded film guy who needs your support:

Kendrick needs to start beef with Trump.

Mountains come out of the sky, and they STAND THERE.

They decidedly do NOT come out of the ground and move around.

Center: a stylized bearded man looks at viewer. Right: the words MEMORY PRISON in a 19-point star. Blues and reds on white paper.

I have an absolutely MASSIVE headache today, but I’m still working on a bit of animation. Here’s the latest still.

As does “Dance No. 4” from Glass’s Dance Nos. 1-5.

And I do enjoy Forty Guns.

Yeah, these look interesting to me! Hoping they’ll appear on the Channel so I can check them out before buying.

All of them?

I’ve been curious about this set, even though I’m not a big Westerns guy.
