I’ve been trying to learn flash, but learning from web tutorials and whatnot sucks. So I’m looking at an online course offered by my old school. If I have enough money when the next course starts up, I’ll be taking that and then you should see some random weird stuff from me posted on the site.
I finally finished upgrading the forums and adding some stuff to deal with spam bots. You can access by following the link on the right under “Related Links”. Or you can go directly to it Bonzaicamel Forums.
Also, if you haven’t noticed there seems to be some issues with the website.. it’s going a bit slow on the main page. The rest of the site seems unaffected though. So just be patient while the hosting company does what it’s paid for.
So I spent a good chunk of today and a bit of last night upgrading the software and revamping the look. There’s still some work to do, but hopefully everyone (..anyone?) who visits this page will like it.
If you have any suggestions… you should probably mail me and not Brian. andrew.mackinnon[AT]bonzaicamel.com
Hi,
This site hasn’t had a lot of activity for the past while. I guess both Brian and I have been busy. But… I’ve decided to try and do some clean up on the site and make it look pretty.. or something. Maybe I’ll even try to make a crappy stick-figure type of animation. It’ll suck. I promise.
Anyway, hopefully you’ll see a few changes here and there on the site as I figure out how to make the changes I want.
P.S.. I’m looking at upgrading some software I’m using on the site, so it might go down for maintenance sometime over the next few days.
I took some time off from the boy series to play with a few new techniques but I have returned to it now. I can’t yet give a date for the next cartoon, Since even I don’t know but I should be posting some new artwork from the new episode shortly.
Also I’ve been tossing around the idea or replacing the narration with music or the like…please write me and tell me what you think of this idea.

me again, aren’t I exciting? no? well ok.
Getting down to the gritty of the nitty. I’ll say i’m currently working on a short Stephen King-ish animation called something like “greener on the other side” about a man and his obsession with his lawn.
I wanted to play around with a new new techniques I didn’t think would fit into “the boy” story but the boy story will continue.
if you do indeed have eyes. you may have noticed the site looks alittle different. I got really tired of the look of the old site and it was a enormous pain to update with news and such which caused it to become kinda stagnant. This setup is very very easy to update and now Andrew will be able to post to so he can chime in and defend himself next time I call him names.
