    HOLEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you nailed it bro!!! how you designed the sun is ENOUGH to blow my mind away! i don’t even need to watch the entire short (but i can see myself watching it a million times now) to give my opinion. The textures are awesome! everything is awesome! Being a long time citizen of Cartoon Brew i’ve never been so happy.

    Thank you Lluis! for creating such a wonderful masterpiece and thank you too Amid for posting it here on the brew!..this is indeed an awesome tribute to your book. I’ve always been a rabid fan of the Modern Cartoon style. It took me a while to acquire the book here in my place but it was worth it! and seeing Lluis’ work just brightened up my day! I hope you could create more!. Awesome work! keep it up!

    This is wonderful work! I love the pipe smoking timed to the music!

  • Doug Holverson

    Was some of that music recycled from “Stop Driving Us Crazy” and Seely? I loved it! Does anybody have a track listing? Thanks!

    • http://www.lluisfuzzhound.com Lluis

      Yeah the first two tracks are recycled from “Stop Driving Us Crazy”, good spotting! it’s great music, so expressive! the other tracks are from some rare exotica records I have, I’ll find the title and let you know! cheers!

    It’s more like Zagreb than “Cartoon Modern” unless you considered Zagreb part of that phase.

  • Michael Polvani

    I’ve GOT to ask…….how did you get the film grain look in that????
    Is it a feature in After Effects?

    • http://www.lluisfuzzhound.com Lluis

      Hehehe glad you liked it! no it’s not a feature in After Effects, I made it myself.

  • Zabbot

    Great work. And I too would like to know how you achieved that great vintage film grain.
