A Place to Promote Creativity

Why I started this blog:

"I wanted to have a place to promote the creativity of people close to me and in my local community. because I think there are not enough places to see the creative works of human beings. Lots of people do creative things and they just end up in a pile in their closet or something. Which is too bad. The world is more interesting to me when those things are shown.

Even people who make art for a living don't have enough places to have their work shown, and can always use some more exposure, so I started adding some artists that I like to the blog. But I always try to make and have at least some personal connection with them when I do.

So, I started this blog to have a place to show creativity that I find interesting. Hopefully it brings a little more connection among creative people in the world, because that is also important to me."

Peanut Corral

Another short animation by Ron McAdow.

You can get another one on Amazon's video on demand service. It is called Hank the Cave Peanut and Captain Silas, and I really enjoyed watching it way back when.

We The People

We the people
        of these United States of America
        walk around, talk, say this and that.

Peanut Submarine

This film was made by Ron McAdow in the mid 1970's. It was part of a series of peanut animations created for the educational television program "Infinity Factory", produced in Massachusetts at the Education Development Center. The music is by Jon Klein.

Ron's longer peanut films, also featuring Jon Klein scores, are available on Amazon's video-on-demand: Hank the Cave Peanut and Captain Silas.

When Ron was my teacher in junior high school, he offered an after school course to learn to make animated stop motion films. Me and Jeremiah took it and had a great time. I remember the process taking a very long time. I have no idea what happened to the actual films.
