  • "Who dares to laugh at the vampire?!"

    I sit here downloading old animations from the Hollywood Animation Archive Project Blog for H.o.p. Nice to have these made available for download. It’s a great site that provides some animation and cartoon history and knowledge but also is documenting their archiving of cartoons, comics, drawings, etc. There are times when it’s not exactly age…

  • Friday video and H.o.p. says I can't act

    Here’a a video, done about about a year and a half ago, of a very disheveled, sleepy-looking six-year-old H.o.p. (I think he was six, but it may be later than that) reciting Peter and Paul which he learned on Teletubbies. I’m putting this up because I’m always losing where this video is and love it,…

  • Godzilla in Fisher Price Land, Episode 12

    The story thus far is, “Godzilla has been terrorizing the inhabitants of Fisher Price Land!” We are very near the end when this poignant moment occurs. At least I see it as poignant. H.o.p. is well on his way to getting down pat the art of the Youtube Wasteland Flick. We are on the tag…

  • Benadryl and Juliette of the Spirits doesn’t mix well

    One reason I’m slogging through mud around here is because I’ve been doing Benadryl round the clock for allergies the past couple of weeks, which I hate as sometimes it makes me feel quite doped. Had just taken some last night when I sat down to watch “Juliette of the Spirits”, which I’ve not seen…

  • Robot vs the monster (H.o.p's epic)

    And here’s H.o.p.’s second claymation. Which was way toooooo ambitious. Again, he did the claymation, photographing everything himself in sequence, did the story, models and all. Then I helped him put it together first in Photoshop then Quicktime. We experimented and went with six frames per second and had most of the dialogue displayed at…

  • A robot goes bowling

    H.o.p. has done plenty of onionskinning. Lately he’s been prepping himself to do some claymation, and today you see his first real claymation short, which will be followed immediately by the posting of another one, both done during the past few days. He did all the claymation, photography, models, story etc. (Need to get him…

  • H.o.p. is not a salesman, he says

    H.o.p. in a shirt with his T Rex painting on it, courtesy his store at Cafe Press. This is the pic in which he is standing still for his mom. And here he is being H.o.p. and unwittingly assuming a Shiva pose. (That’s Marty in the background fixing supper.) And here he is with his…

  • "BOO" A Comic by H.o.p., Book 1, Page 1

    The first installment of “Boo”, a comic by H.o.p., hand drawn, partly hand-inked, scanned and finished in Photoshop. Click on image to enlarge.

  • H.o.p. draws the White House

    The story: Tim and his robot Moby are chased by space aliens to the White House. The President isn’t there so they run around the place. Tim discovers Moby has wandered off. Then the President walks by. He’s the tour guide. Tim looks all over for Moby. Then Tim ran all over the White House…

  • The Rude Cayman

    I’m so disappointed. H.o.p. began last week a little story book called “The Rude Cayman” but never finished it. He cut out the cardboard cover and drew the pic and cut out paper to fit inside and began drawing the pics and writing the story then pffft apparently ran out of steam and interest and…

  • Pretend I’m BoingBoing or something

    A few posts ago I was grumbling over people forcing their progeny to make napkin rings out of cardboard toilet paper holders, or at least deluding them into thinking it was a good thing… When instead they could be making finger puppets! Like H.o.p. did this past summer. His own idea. Cut the toilet paper…
