OLD NEWS:
![]() I have published a web site. This was made for a friend who used to enjoy disturbing and angering people, among other things. I miss him dearly. Consider yourself warned. DAVID MAUTNER.COM I finally digitized a flip book a that I made somewhere around age 11 (1.6Mb). I have passed the halfway point in my latest work, based on Thomas Dolby's "Weightless" from the The Golden Age Of Wireless album. I love every song from the first three albums, each one is special to me, but this one is my favourite. I had expected to have it done by now but hit one of those stalls wherein one is dead set against doing the only thing one can think of doing, but then you sit down and, yes, once begin and the work is completed, or at least becomes something which can possibly be completed... You'll get to see it after another couple of such stalls, no doubt. I also have a cartoon done in Flash to a song by The Gluey Brothers: "The Stabbing Trilogy (in five parts)". It is the first art I've done for it's own sake in a few seasons, and it felt really good to do it. The group in question has seen fit to post it to their front page: www.glueybrothers.com "The Stabbing Trilogy" surprised me by jumping on me and driving me like a stolen car, seriously. I'd stay up late working on it, which is nothing new, but then I'd get up early to work on it, too, which is kind of spooky. It was a lot of fun, and has distinguished itself among my work as something which people I don't even know recommend to each other; I found it linked from bulletin boards I'd never heard of before. This experience helped me to finalize my decision to give up on working to show off my skills. In fact I've sworn off of doing any art that I don't enjoy: no more freelancing, no demo reels, even. I'm sick of it, and if it doesn't make a living wage I'm not doing it unless it's for the right reason. The next cartoon is coming along even better *knocks head*, and is based on a song I'll never get permission to, but all rules are off again on the art: fun only. Like the day I did the cartoon about the drowning guy. | |||||||

Elder News: ![]() DECEMBER '00 VISITING FAMILY UP NORTH |
|||||||
The Sleeper Yawns! Here is my first effort, featuring The Great Cthulhu: an Alien cursed with aeons-long slumber (this is a curse?) beneath our oceans. Capable of some influence over the dreams of the sensitive, this semi-material nightmare's awakening will signal the end of the age of man. While I live to make the film that finally does justice to H.P. Lovecraft's vision, this cartoon is in a lighter vein.
