Wiener Mobile sighting!
“We’ve got a special treat for you tomorrow, Albertson’s shoppers! The Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile will be here!”
Oh boy, mark your calendars. This was an event not to be missed! In fact, I think this is the biggest event Fallbrook’s had in… forever.
Sweet license plate– IWSHIWR… I wish I were!
The inside looked mustard-and-ketchuppy; lotsa yellow and red with a sky pattern on the ceiling!
They gave me free stickers, which are now proudly displayed on the front of my sketchbook.
That concludes the adventures of the Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile to the Albertson’s in Fallbrook!

Make your own Hanging Zoetrope!
So you’ve always liked animation and you always thought zoetropes were cool. Perhaps you wanted to make your own zoetrope but felt a little lazy and didn’t quite have the motivation to go dig a motor out of some old kid’s toy? Or maybe you never quite knew how to go about it before.
Well, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, I now bestow upon you my super-simple, super-cheap, relatively-quick instructions for a zoetrope made out of household goods!
A Curious Contraption Animation Test
The Curious Contraption
Here’s my latest photo series, which is composed of a collection of photos of Helping Hands (which can be acquired off of Amazon for under $10). It was my late grandpa’s, and I have much more planned for it!

The Most Amazing Plasma Tree
Shot this vid before taking down the lights. Too many lights? Pah! No such thing. You can never EVER overdecorate a Christmas Tree. It simply cannot be done.
We even had a Christmas Table this year…
Hah, we win for biggest fire hazard!
Animation Discs & Oldskool Gamerz
A 2D animator’s best friend– their animation disc– is quite a versatile tool.
One can use it as a pillow…
One can use it to soften the sun.
One can use it as a tray on which to eat…
Or, more than anything, one can bring flat drawings to LIFE with the help of its pegbars and smooth, semi-opaque surface! (All the while, losing sleep, not getting outside to see the sun, and forgetting to eat).
You and I live a full 24 frames a second. We may even think every action in 24 frames a second! 2D is alive and will never die so long as our friend, the animation disc, is around.
(Which isn’t to say that 2D is impossible through computers… But the satisfaction of bringing paper to life is unrivaled!)
Consider yourself a king of the arcade?
Do you exchange your pennies for quarters at the bank?
Or would you consider throwing an all-Atari pizza party?
Perhaps the sight of these buttons induced oldschool gamer flashbacks.
In the event that any of the above statements apply to you, look no further: you’ve found the button set designated for you!
