"It's like eating at McDonalds"

submission: :: Squirrel Songs IV ::

date: June 11, 2007

Watching Foamy's cartoon today is like eating at McDonalds... You already know how it will taste before putting it iun your mouth... but some persons eat there everyday...

Foamy is great, but he is always the same squirel. Period! McDonalds was a creative restaurant chain back in the days, but today they represent mass junk food because they sticked to their menu, however they still serve millions persons everyday... They don't change in order to keep the fidels consumers.

However, I have a problem with the irony of Foamy telling everybody to free their mind while becomming a so non-creative cartoon... But that is just a squirel, just like the one i ran on with my car this morning...

"Maybe not killing themselves is the best way"

Maybe not killing themselves is the best way to achieve greater art.

I like your work, the moral of this one is very deep... It took me lot of time to decide if i agreed or not to what I've just seen... and i cannot totally agree with you.

The artist act as the medium between the ideas (or opinions) and the public. It is the artist that brings ideas to the world through his creativity. If an artist wishes to die while performing, what artistic truth does he brings his public except fear or death. An artist tries to communic his art and tries to understand it in order to go beyond it (like the philosoph that is looking deeper to find truth).How can these artists go beyond their art if they kill themself? Will their art get better? No!!! They only remove the possibility to repeat themself in their new creations (or create something lame). I'm thinking of the painter Riopelle, he just quitted art at some point, saying that he cannot go beyond what he already accomplished and lived old in a perpetual fame. The fact that the artist decided to stop creating brings a loss as big as its death.

I have a big issue with suicide, that's probably why i disconect with the concept of suicide as something that people should think of as a good way to end their life, as it is somehow shown in this flash. However i'm also aware that this is only a movie, it isn't real life...

And finally, i don't like the fact that this flash cannot become this deep without reading your comment. There should be a better explaination at the end than one sentence. This way your flash would have all his deepness and be a whole masterpiece. Not only a good flash with an incredible text joined to it.

High five to you

"Great work"

submission: NightmareCity:Catastrophe

date: April 26, 2007

I liked it, even though the characters movements aren't easy to follow, but great piece of action. Maybe add more distinction between charaters than different colors, it's confusing when they have all the same shape... Dendyn dynasties doesn't have that problem.

Have you been watching to Bleach recently? Because the blue arrows, the red sword shape, the city view at the end with a single mountain... Seems that it from there, but you drew them well.

I really liked it, but i'm wondering what it would have been like it the weird human movement has been replaced with a more-motionless manga animation, or more realistic movement as in Dendyn's first fight... You gave me a good time, high five for you.
