Sculpting when I get the chance is something I love to do. Plus finding rare animation from other countries on the internet is a favorite thing for me.

I also make tutorial videos which are lots of fun to make:



I also update the news for and own Animate Clay.



I'm also the creator of Zombie Pirates. It's a clay animated film about pirates who are magically kept alive through a curse. Anyone who gets touched by Captain Lock Jaw's sword can never die. View the offical blog at the Zombie Pirates site.

The Defiance Ship Set

Most of the older Claymation films from the 80's and early 90's when clay was the ultimate animation medium. So Mark Twain, Meet the Raisins and some of the rarer Billy Budd films.

Any of the how-to books on animation!

Hey there Marc! I really like the "video" style of your latest post on AC. I would like to see more of them and even a daily video would be sweet. You could even incorporate this for Zombie Pirates once in a while. I hope you continue to make these over the standard text versions. Good idea!
