Frank Animated Short

FrankI hadn't heard of Jim Woodring's Frank comics before. Very cool. The visual style reminds me of George Herriman's Krazy Kat comic strip. To give you a taste of Woodring's style, here's a Flash game that uses his artwork. (Hmm, is it really a game or a Flash thingamajig?)

The real purpose of this entry was to link to Fuyama Taruto's animated short of Woodring's weird little world. The grainy black and white feels like a throwback to the early days of animation while the use of CG and the general surreal nature of the short make it feel very modern.
