Manly – Jesse & Justin Moynihan

Last week I was talking with some friends this week about the release of The Midnight Gospel today on Netflix (from Duncan Trussell, Comic and Psychedelic Wanderer and Pendleton Ward, Creator of Adventure Time) and I wanted to show them this epic little short I found years ago. I struggled to remember the name of this cartoon, googling wildly:

PSYCHEDELIC CARTOON SHAPES PYRAMID LAZER VIOLENCE FIGHT TESSERACT

…to no avail But since I did finally find it I’ll share it here.

It’s another cartoon related in tone and content to Adventure Time from Jesse and Justin Moynihan, which is no surprise as Jesse worked as a storyboard artist on Adventure Time.

The writing is silly and broad. It’s awkward bro-speak thats good for a laugh. Almost written as if a child did a take on sci-fi fantasy stuff and just didn’t know about or bother with appropriating the typical science jargon. Its endearing like that. Feels very related to Adventure time though its a little more violent and grown up. A good stoner psychedelic carton

‘Why you being all mystery-ish?’

Walk Like You - Simon Stålenhag

Simon Stalenhag is a painter from Sweden who’s work describes a very vivid and compellingly decaying future.

I’ve been really fascinated recently of the idea of a large scene, rather than an intimate one, like a classical painting where there is a full story playing out before you. Stalenhags paintings imply the existence of a complicated and deep world. There’s so much in atmosphere and scale, as well as inference in these images. And it’s that inference, that suggestion without explanation, that is so fascination.

And this world is so intriguing that it’s actually getting its own series on Amazon. The pilot will be directed by none other than Mark Romanek. It will be very interesting. Theres a lot possible in Simon’s imaginary world to be explored.

I’ll be watching.
