This got out of hand

Here’s my first real physical stop-motion animation, and it clocks in at a minute and forty-six seconds. After years of saying I’d not ever make a “making a million tiny moves to characters arms and legs” video, I’ve now done it. Which is what always happens when I say I’ll never, ever, never ever do something. I learned a lot, needless to say. Hopefully there will be many more (but shorter) videos on the way soon.

Am I the best to ever do what I do? I gotta believe I am.

I’m excited about how things are going with these paper figures.

I’m Feeling Anxious

So I’m back to blogging? Maybe? Where it all began for me on my blog Bent Objects on Google’s Blogger platform in 2006. Eventually my audience was all coming from social media, so I abandoned my blog and moved there. I’m pushing away from social platforms now, or at least feeling the need to. We’ll see if this is a one off or something a little more.

Anyhow, the following image began as a joke in my head about how a paper person would go about taking pills. Then i changed it from a generic paper person to a more personal person who sorta looks like me. And then, because of what my country is going through right now, I made the image about what a lot of us are feeling right now. I don’t take meds for anxiousness, but I am feeling it. Yes, this piece definitely represents early February of 2025.
