Oodles of Hands
Illustration
A NYC Jazz musician commissioned me to create his album artwork. The guidelines were: minimal color, Peter walking away, a grandfather clock, and old-timey text. I created this using Photoshop.
Ah. My hometown of Ypsilanti, Michigan. No one knows where it’s located, so I have to say that I’m from Detroit or Ann Arbor. Being on the east coast also makes me aware of my Midwestern Peculiarities. For example: Michiganders can use their hand as a map. People look at me like I’m crazy when I point at my palm and say “I’m from here!”
Ypsilanti is home to many ridiculous things: The Elvis festival, the Rubber Ducky race, goat lawnmowers, and a very VERY phallic water tower. I think it has a world record. Also, I’m very proud of the shading on the penis.

After Screening the video in class, my Animation teacher offered the “paper plate award” for most artsy/abstract animation.
Animations in this video were made during our all-class animation day. The bubble gum Sequence is by Chi Chi Chen, and the Frog and Spinning Lions head were made by Selin Karahan.
I used Photoshop and AfterEffects to animate.
I used various effects in AfterEffects: Griddler, Ripples, Scale, Opacity, and Warp.
The music and audio were edited using Premiere Pro
Guitar and voice is by me, while the effects noodling is done by Ben Rolston.
I am reading an excerpt from “Dancing with Cats” by Burton Silver & Heather Busch
