Sublo Animation Block Party intro short (Patreon)

Animation Block Party commissioned me to do this Sublo and Tangy Mustard micro-short to introduce an event we did last night in LA. It played at the beginning of a screening curated by the awesome indie animation showcase Malt Adult, followed by Picture This-- a live cartoon-comedy hybrid show where comedians do a set and cartoonists draw on a screen projected behind them, and they play off each other. I draw in Picture This pretty regularly, and I love Malt Adult and ABP so I was happy to  throw together a little opening film for this special combo valentines show!

Casey Safron (the founder of Animation Block Party) suggested the Night of the  Hunter love/hate concept. I was kind of skeptical about it but ended up having fun with it. Kevin was totally game to try doing a version of the Robert Mitchum monologue as Tangy Mustard despite not having seen the movie outside of that specific clip, and Sublo's audio was just reused and chopped-up lines from other episodes since Ryan is such a busy guy.

Otherwise animation continues to chug away on the next real episode "Nightclub" which I'm hoping will be done by late March or early April, but that might be a little overly optimistic. I'll share more from it soon!
