unexpectations | ink on paper | 2006

this was drawn on and off over the course of a month so i could get back in the swing of the animation process. the music was taken off of the adult swim website during their submit your shorts contest. this, as well as several other shorts, was submitted. the general structure of the animation is as follows:

handsome young man walks until he finds a $.25 machine outside of a supermarket. after checking his breath for foul odor and realizing there is no scope insight, he goes for a gum ball in hopes of bringing some sweet aroma up in his grill. without warning, he gets distracted by a hot little number [somewhat based off of heather graham's character in swingers]. falling instantly in love, he mistakes a "grow your own dinasaur in water" machine with the gumball device. chaos begins. mixing with the saliva, the dino-egg erupts into a mean ass tyrannosaurus who runs amuk through the streets. the rex meets up with a giant gorilla and a rampage style rumble breaks out in the spirit of 8-bit. then theres all this stuff about faux love and neck snapping and the handsome young man being crushed by the weight of his new pet. its great stuff.
