Cigar Destruction




















Sometime in 2008, you will see a new animation titled "Cigar Destruction". The character, Cigar, will be showing you just how smoking is destructive to your body by using a building.


This is an experimental type of animation for me. Sometimes it can be a lot of work trying to make things look right but fun. I create a lot of frames before I'm satisfied putting it all together. Sometimes when I use still frames and videos together, it can be a very tough challenge. This time I am thinking about just still frames.


I used a blurred effect in the poster to give it a blurred look. A transparent effect was also added with the smoke to Cigar's face.


Well, that's all I can tell you for now. I don't know how many times my mind will change before I actually make the film. I don't like to tell too much.

Nobody Believes Benny

According to West Street Journal News (cartoon news), there is a rumor going around that Little Benny stopped smoking with hypnosis, and it is said that he is controlled by it in his subconscious. It is said that is how Benny’s desire and craving for cigars was eliminated. Doctors believe that Benny entered into a deep and relaxed state of hypnosis where he is awake and aware of what is going on around him. They say that he is in control.

Little Benny is angry about the rumor. He said, “I have never been to a doctor for my smoking, and I have never stopped with hypnosis. I stopped smoking with the help of God.”

First, no one believes that Benny has seen a criminal named Cigar Keys who has no identity. Benny claims that others have seen him but are afraid to come forward. Cigar Keys is said to be a dangerous man that misleads children into crime. Doctors think that this is the way that Benny has stopped smoking. He thinks he sees a real cigar man and is now the non-smoker.

Benny is a special type of guy that can see things going on around him that most people can not see. It is a gift that he was born with, but other people seem to think that he is crazy or weird. Nobody hears him when he said that he stopped smoking with the help of God, and how he was lead by him. Benny said, “ I don’t care what nobody else has said, I know in my soul that what I said is true.”

It seems that nobody believes Benny.

Tommie Girl



Tommie Girl was often judged by her outer appearance, but no one could see inside her soul.
