Exploring youtube (again): Pencil Face

The last few weeks, I really hadn't any spare time and today is my first day off for a long, long time... I really enjoyed it so far though I'm not really good with vacation. I started the day with reading blogs and news and surfing through the webosphere and found the following which really made my day: a youtube video I unfortunately can't embed.
Pencil Face is made by the Dandy Dwarves and you could find some more information on the video at their webseite dandydwarves.com

I just love it because of its weird story, the ... well, weird music and the weird (again) style. That's exactly the type of video I really enjoy, the type of video I'd like to do. Life isn't always neat and clean, it's sometimes dark and disturbing (and weird?) and I appreciate artists who and their work referring to these things.

I sometimes wonder if my blog needs more illustrations...? And if, why?

Couldn't see the film. My dsl has gone so slow. But hi.

Hey Shelley,
there's also a Quciktime movie on their webseite if your computer has problems with flash and loading it. You can chose a low quality movie there. Perhaps this may work for you?

This is bad craziness. You must walk away Jessica. WALK AWAY...

Hey Jessica, found my way here by way of Strider's site. I just wanna say thanks for posting that pencil face video I don't think I would have found it otherwise. I really enjoyed it :)

See you!

Hey Tony, welcome!

It's always great to have some other readers here than the usual suspects! ;)
I love that weird stuff and I'm glad than someone else seems to like it... well, except my dear friend Simon... But hey, that's okay.
