It’s funny, in a way. In other ways, not so funny. My art style circa 2006-2008 was almost exclusively what came to be known as ‘Bean Men’. They were mostly versions of Marvel Comics characters and I did them for fun. Then I decided to diversify a bit, although many people would comment on my work and say “this would look great animated”. Turns out, the style is almost exactly what Finn from Adventure Time looks like. This is me drawing him in my style. Take out the shadows and put in black outlines… yeah. So those people were right. Now I’m sad. (I’m not saying I could have created Adventure Time, by the way. Just that if I animated this style now, I’d be accused of ripping off Pendleton Ward.)

Played around with GarageBand a while ago, produced some kind of Krautrock-esque tune and forgot about it until now. Might as well share.

My first attempt at a (very basic) Flash animation. Up to now, I’ve been doing banners and online ads, so this is a bit different.
