These are my submissions below!

My process is pretty simple, I jump into the archives and have fun selecting images! There is so much great stuff to explore. I love the feeling of getting lost in time. The images and archives above are really time-machines! I tend to look for things that connect to my childhood and or allow me to play with humor.Most of my animations below are created in Adobe photoshop and after effects. Keep in mind, using after effects with high resolution images may result in big file sizes. The GIF IT UP upload file size (maybe 3 MB tops!) allowance is small! (I hope they change this!) Have fun!
