I Like the Little Crickets - Painted Animation

I found this man one day, while out collecting people's dreams on 17th ave in Calgary. He is perhaps the most amazing person possible. So I felt the need to share his wonderfulness with you!

All images are acrylic paint on board.

Special thanks to Jessica Rafuse for being an amazing partner in dream collecting.

Wait u met this guy in person?

[CompletelyLovely]

@Roenazarrek Yeah! Actually a friend of mine who saw this video found him a few days ago. He said "you're very very beautiful" as she waked by, and she recognized his voice. I wish she had told him about this video! I like to think he'd like it.

What software did you use for the animation>?

[CompletelyLovely]

@clayLavl Hey! I often use a program called Frame by Frame for animation, but for this I actually just borrowed a PC and assembled the frames in Windows Movie Maker. Such terrible quality, but it was all I had available that would do the job. I really need to learn more about animation software and find something really great. Hopefully I'm going to get to try iStopmotion soon.

Criminals don't dress like that. They wear suits and ties.

Although big tits and cocks do help.

What a beautiful man! This is what I love about humanity! Real words from real people who have a real connection to the earth and living things...loving things. Thank you for sharing this with us and making me tear up a bit.
