Sally-- I've been a fan of your work since forever and I have to know; Are you still working in flash? I feel like (for your animation style especially) Flash is the closest thing to cel animation... I'm dying to see more of your beautiful work. (I've been working in flash since I was 12-- around 9ish years ago--)

[laughingsal]

@Whinebitchmoan Thanks for your nice comments. I do like Flash but it's always hard to get the drawing line quite right and always too easy to do a shape tween instead of animating it. Going thru a non creative period right now. Stay with your Flash work!

[satekmary506094]

Cool!

Sexy this Black Owl!

[khrysserx]

wow sally, totally cool -- my favorite of your flash cartoons. my favorite music treatment is still 'from your head' but this one is just as good!

[laughingsal]

@khrysserx thanks khrysserx- it's a great song and from your head is still my fave too.

I'm goign to go smoke a bowl and come back to watch this, hahah.

[yeahsee33]

This reminds me of a sad version of "I LOVE TO SING-A ABOUT THE MOON-A AND THE JUNE-A AND A-SPRING-A"

[dustydustyeh]

I think this was pretty cool, like the song. It looks like one of your first times using flash. I really love your style. Do you usually make your animations the traditional way or do you use toonboom or some other animation software?

[laughingsal]

Flash is the only animation software I've used. I'm more comfortable with Flash code than using it for animation, but it's just so freeing after all those THOUSANDS of cels I drew and inked and painted long ago.

[OtherBrother09]

Your animation has always been therapeudic for me. I've always suffered from severe swings into dark depression. Your work lifts me up when I'm there and helps me gets through until the sun shines again. It's ironic to me that this song is about saying goodbye to the nite owl.

[laughingsal]

beware of those dark depressions. The lyrics to this song are definitely odd.

[OtherBrother09]

The color changes and the background colors make me feel happy and peaceful at the same time.

[RossRadiation]

nice work, great song too

[laughingsal]

thanks, ross. you glow in the dark.

[avdjRELOADED]

i love it

[laughingsal]

woo HOO!

[laughingsal]

Sweden, really? Incredible! I mean otrolig! Thanks so much!

[finstafari]

Good to see the Queen of animation, still making stuff!

You have a fanclub in Sweden. -We love Sally!

[namowal]

A fanclub? Do you have to be Swedish to join?

[grinick]

What are you animating in?

[laughingsal]

You mean like, in a fog? in a bathtub? Or in Flash-- that's what I'm using. This one only took two weeks. Since it's all for youtube, I don't get fussy about it.

[laughingsal]

Wow, all these nice comments and it hasn't even been up a day!

[yaffle]

most awesome cartoon groove.

[owlphanumeric]

finally! proof that owls can dance fancy! (this is something i always knew, of course;-)

ps: i'm knitting the loveliest scarf in a pattern called 'little shells' it's a color i think you'd like;-)

[laughingsal]

love your screen name, owlphanumeric!

[TheRealGentleman]

Lovely!!!

[nomenclaturetube]

it's like an acid trip

[VyckyM]

Oh completely awesome.. love the contrast and the bluesey cool glow of the background. I don't see this much black in animation usually so its very unique... of course... and you are right the song

is mysterious 6/4 chord progression haunting. Fave part? Those sassy so-long hearts at the end. Nice one! Made my day fer sure!
