Daniel Anthony St. George

I'm loving the work of Brooklyn artist Daniel Anthony St. George 2nd, especially his cynical take on our favorite childrens' cartoons.

Fallen

Normally I'm not one who is into animated features or shorts, they tend to be a bit over the top on the sap factor for a cynical bastard like myself. Technical advancements are great and all, but I just don't see the excitement over the fact that a computer can make some cartoon monster's fur look real. I'll take a classic warner bros. 'toon with a good story any day.

That's why I like this short, titled "Fallen" from Wolfram Kampffmeyer and Sascha Geddert. Simple, without so much as a word in dialogue, yet it says so much. It's almost enough to make me an optimist.

What's that? No, I have something in my eye...Yes, both of them...I don't know, I think it was a swarm of gnats.
