A gay pelican

Recently, I joined a facebook group called "Let's All Draw Gay Pelicans Instead of Mohammed Day". So, that's exactly what I did. I don't know about you, but that pelican looks quite happy to me.

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! That is NNNNOOOOTTTT Mohammed inside the pelican's beak. That is in fact a diminutive version of Osama bin Laden that I used in an experimental student film quite a few years ago. Although, that film of mine does have an appearance by Mohammed in it (and he is most likely not portrayed the way most Muslim would envision him). The only place I put it up online is on my facebook profile. Who double dog dares me to post it somewhere else?

My Christmas present to the world:

Let's make this scenario a reality in the near future, okay? I wonder who tastes more like chicken Osama bin Laden or Aman al-Zawahiri. ;)

Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzza everybody!!

My 9/11 post

There's going to be a lot of TV shows, radio broadcasts, and blog posts dedicated to the 5th anniversary of 9/11 today. This blog post is one of them.

When I first saw the event take place at the time, my first inspiration was to make an animated film about it. I was just starting my second year of animation school at the time so I had the facilities as well as a relative ability to do so. So that's exactly what I did inbetween school assignments. By the summer of 2002 it was done.

The film I made resembled a commercial for an upcoming sitcom for NBC called Who's the Shah? starring Osama bin Laden, Aman al-Zawahiri, and of course Conrad Bain as Mr. Drummond who adopts them. I would love to put a copy of this film online so that I could link it to this blog and show it to the world. I especially would have loved to do that today for sure. Unfortunately, the file is corrupt or invalid somehow. Oh well, I know of another occasion coming up down the road where I could post it. Hopefully I can find a way to uncorrupt my film and get it online for all you good people. But for now, I'll have to leave you with this graphic. Enjoy!
