Aquarium Drunkard turns 20 years old today. I couldn't put into a short soundbite how honored I am to be a part of it as a writer, visual artist, and simply a reader since 2007 or so. A real last bastion of arts journalism, and that's just scratching the surface

... during my three hour visit with Bill, I was gifted some truly insane ephemera like this. Original Byrds-era Clarence White business card!

A few years ago, I took a roadtrip on an assignment for British magazine Shindig! to interview Bill Bartlett, guitarist for psych-pop legends The Lemon Pipers (# 1 hit "Green Tambourine in '68). In addition to the magazine article, I expand on the singular Pipers saga today at @aquariumdrunkard.com

I should have found a more attractive model BUT the folks at Worn Free did an amazing thing and made t-shirts for my short film PURE ANIMATION FOR NOW PEOPLE. With spring approaching, who doesn't need a shirt promoting independent animation and both Mark Neeley and Mothersbaugh? Link below ...

I got to draw the historic, 170-year old architecture of Findlay Market to design these sparkling American Water cans (you may have seen 'em at the likes of @woodsist.bsky.social Festival). The cans and other stuff will be available at the annual MLB opening day parade in Cincinnati next week ๐Ÿ’งโšพ

Although I know nothing about golf, this is a snippet of a new music video I animated for Rachel Goodrich via Soul Select Records // the single being a heartfelt homage to her late grandmother. You can watch the full thing here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ4A...

Eric Dolphy is my single favorite jazz musician, and today at Aquarium Drunkard I wrote about the Dutch documentary Last Date (1991, recently surfaced online). A wonderful location-hopping film from hometown LA to the NYC club scene w/ Mingus to the final exodus to Europe

I recently put my short films on YouTube, if you want to you can watch them. As an animator, I had only used Vimeo for several years but unfortunately, that platform now seems dead in terms of functionality & the artistic/filmmaker quality that it once had. m.youtube.com/watch?v=e5Ir...

Iโ€™ll always associate A Series of Sneaks w/ my first day of college as it happened to be what I was listening to on the commute. Just one of those weird, visceral memories.

This is a clip from my recent animated short film PURE ANIMATION FOR NOW PEOPLE, feat. a soundtrack by Mark Mothersbaugh. If you want, you can watch the one minute film. It's also screening at the Big Teeth film festival in Chicago next week. Thanks for your time.
