Great work! Artists are the best! I loved the videos.
Thank you so much!
My goodness what talent. Belloc one of my favourite poets. You did a great job and now my grandkids will know exactly what is meant by my recitation when I show them your animation. Well done.
Hey Seth! Cool to have you here! I am a visual effects artist and hoping to go to Toronto soon! Guess we have some similarities.. Good to read that more and more video / animation artists are coming to this platform. I hope that we will eventually have all sorts of channels for animation / 3d / vfx.
I also really enjoy watching hand drawn animation and claymation but never really knew why until reading this - "To me, it's the tiny mistakes and imperfections that make the work human and relatable." Now I think I know why I enjoy it so much, I never thought of it this way before. Thanks for the post, and welcome to Steem fellow Ontarioan. I'll drink a Tim Hortons for you.
When I said that I was actually paraphrasing Don Hertzfeldt who is one of my all time favourite animators. If you haven't heard of him, you should look him up now. Once you've finished your Double Double of course.
You are welcome Seth!
Can't wait to read your interesting articles. Keep on volunteering and stay as creative as you are :)
Best wishes for your future!
Hi @sethlinson, I'm glad you decided to try out the site. We all have a few doubts about Steemit, but I'm reasonably sure that this platform, and others like it, are going to be the future for artists.
I and a lot of other people really like the animations from Bitbutter; I guess you're probably familiar with his work. The only problem is, there are so few. So if you make animations about why government stinks, I'm sure people will be ready to receive it.
Welcome to Steemit and thanks for sharing your cool animations!
I agree that this could be the future for artists. If this platform is sustainable it's going to be a great way for artists to get their work out there and actually get paid. It's really exciting that people can get paid for creating content without ties to any studio, direct pay-per-view or reliance on ad revenue. This could be huge.
I'm actually not familiar with Bitbutter, but I'll take this as a recommendation and look up that channel!
...
I took a quick look and I'm definitely going to follow this channel. I have seen other things like this on YouTube (though not nearly as well done or polished as what Bitbutter is doing) but I want to take my videos in another direction. I'm not going to be making informational or explainer videos. I'm more interested in storytelling. So I'll be creating short fictions that will hopefully both entertain and communicate a voluntaryist message.
Cheers!
Do you do this for money? If so... I may have a project for you
I've freelanced before. As long as your project isn't incredibly time-sensitive I'm game for some extra work (and extra money!)
But that's the thing about the way I animate... it takes a lot of time and and work, and I need to somehow find a way to schedule that work around my actual job and my classes... and then somehow squeeze living my life in there too. But hey, if you're in no rush we could make it work.
Great! We need more people doing this kind of thing. I'm going to be trying steemit too, to see how that goes. @churdtzu Thanks for the kind words and @sethlinson I look forward to seeing your stuff.

It's good to see someone working to push the ideas of peace and voluntary interaction :)
Cool, hand drawn animations!!!! Good luck with your projects, will follow you & keep track.
"To me, it's the tiny mistakes and imperfections that make the work human and relatable."
Yes, and great observation, btw. I am artist too, I made a few comic books always held dream to turn them animated limited in contacts...but that changes day to day :) thanks for post and best wishes to your art projects!
Great job. I think anarchists and artists have great opportunities here on steam. You are both! :D
Yay for Anarchists and Artists!
Hey Seth, Very cool post. You're very talented and are heading in the right direction. This world needs more peace and freedom and if you art makes that happen then go for it....
Hello Seth!
I strongly believe that artists should be supported here :)
Great to see other Torontonians on steemit!
Saludos desde Venezuela, espero ganar mucho dinero con esto.
Hey such animations are really cool - great work!. I can't but wonder how you make drawings into an animation :)? Sure that might be a silly question for every knowing little about animation, but I am lost here :)
Also feel free to keep an eye out on my posts as they are sure to include some inspirations for story lines, in relation to concepts of freedom.
I'll try to briefly explain without getting too technical. Basically I begin by drawing the "keyframes" of a movement (the moments where one action begins and another ends, like the apex of a walk). Then I do the "inbetween" drawings. That involves a lot of tracing to make sure the shapes and sizes remain consistent, of course they aren't exact tracings since I need to make slight adjustments in order for the character to move. I hope this explanation helps you understand.
I'll check out your posts now. Cheers!
Thank you. It made a few things more clear. Perhaps a quick insight video at some point could have great potential wink :D
Nice to see a fellow voluntaryist from #canada in these digital parts. I look forward to your content here, and on YouTube.
awesome!
Can't wait to see your webseries dude! Rock on! \m/
Great job! I can see you are a genuine and down to earth person who will be a valuable content creator here on Steemit. I am new here and just looking around to see how things work, but your introduceyourself post has given me a template to work from. I'm also a designer, a freelance writer who longs for the day when I am free from government by the oppressive 1%. #anarchy
