Hey everybody! It’s summer time again and we have a little extra time and energy to start making new Animation Hotline videos. My brother Drew, Drew Grella, came out and stayed with me for a month, he’s an illustrator so he drew most of this one. I think I know who left this message also (Brenda), I think I can recognize her voice, but maybe I’ll let her chime in and let me know if it’s her.
Because we are starting new animations we will also need new voicemail messages. So please call in and leave a little story, a poem, thought, memory, or any kind of message that is shorter than a minute and we will choose one as often as possible to try to animate. Thanks for participating! :)

Huge thanks to l’Oeil de Links and Canal+ for running this piece about the Animation Hotline. When I first watched it I thought they were making fun of me, but then I asked someone who understood French and they said they weren’t. I have no choice but to trust them.

Had the luxury of sitting on my balcony and meditating in the French alps this morning. Feeling honored to be alive today. #luxuryproblems #annecy2016 #annecyanimationfestival (at Lake Annecy)

@franklinfurnace asked me to teach art in the public schools and I needed a #haircut so figured I would just combine the two. #stopmotion #animation #ps217 (at Ps 217 Colonel David Marcus School)

Oh my goodness! The sun is starting to warm everything up and the blood is flowing again and although I absolutely love winter, the change of seasons always feels so refreshing. I hope I don’t fall into the “creepy guy” category.
We are starting a new season of hotline videos and although we have a bunch of really great messages, if you have a story, please give us a call and we’ll try to animate it. smile emoticon
