The Dimensions Anthology v4 will be premiering at Cake (Chicago Alternative Comics Expo) this weekend, June 16th and 17th. I’ll be at my high school reunion trying to not get made fun of by cheerleaders, smoking under the bleachers, doing donuts in the parking lot, etc., so go for me and tell me how it was!
Also, sorry about taking a long break from making GIFs! All of your suggestions for new GIFs were amazing and I’ll be putting some of the weirder ones to use. I’ll be back on the wagon soon, promise.
More posts about an amazing comic anthology! My comic is on the page opposite the 3D page. You’ll love it.

Turns out trying to animate GIFs every week is pretty hard to do. Anyone have any suggestions of things to animate?
MoCCa has ruined my ability to make a new gif this weekend, so here are the collected twiflip GIFS I made from last year.
cleaning house and found an animation i did 2 years ago. i wonder why i didn’t finish this?
sapimonkey asked: I love your work!! what program do you use to make these animations? D:
thanks dude! the last few were photoshop + cintiq. I posted this link to a tutorial a little while back that helps with this method, that’s still crazy new to me.

though if you’re just starting out animating, i’d totally recommend trying with Flash first. way easier.
troffie asked: Woahh, hey thanks for following me! Your thesis film is one of my favorite student films ever! Stay awesome, man.
Hey thanks! Glad you liked it. Your drawings are really rad, I couldn’t not follow!
finished the gif. whew!
(in case you’re interested, i figured some stuff out from a video posted from http://charleshuettner.tumblr.com/post/20422742935/tut )
photoshop animation is rewarding and infuriating, but i’m learning!
kateburck asked: Hey. I like little mr worried guy. What's up with him?
Thanks! He’s apart of a pitch I’m working on now, he’s a shapeshifter and a total wuss. Hopefully I’ll be able to post more on him soon.
