Cat In The Hat animation

I did this animation for a Cat In The Hat animated feature to give the animators an example of the desired style of animation- loose, shapes stretched, joints shown when needed and gone when the movement calls for it. A combination of Disney-style character acting with a mix of Looney Tunes timing and Dr. Seuss zaniness.

There is no audio- I was given lots of freedom on the content. The main direction I got was using lots of rubber hose animation and the cat producing almost anything imaginable from his hat.

It was great fun to do!

A fun new murder mystery!

A gruesome murder in an exclusive neighborhood sets off a chain of events as the residents turn against each other, forming alliances and maneuvering like paranoid foreign agents. It’s Desparate Housewives with higher stakes and great insight into human misbehavior.

A great read, this funny, satirical novel was written by a friend of mine, by day an attorney who helps veterans working with the federal government.
