I know exactly how many cats are in my house. I keep it at a consistent value. Moths and spiders, no idea. Mystery number. They come and go through little doors I don't even know about

Aside from the obvious, what's really dumb about the word "content", is that "contents" only exist in relation to a container- so in this context, a literal web container, on a page. Div fillers. Sure mate, your rectangle is the star of the show. What's wrong you haven't eaten your plate toppers

Round the Block

(explaining the concept of singing but badly underselling it) Imagine poetry, but if it was done by a trumpet

Here is episode 2! I did the sound and music for both of these. I should also mention the "sound" largely consists of me barking like a little dog. If you would enjoy hearing me, impersonating a small dog, then hoo boy! This is for you

Dirt Eclipse

A cunning ploy, Adobe, but you forgot one thing *slides jewel case out of my sleeve* My highschool computing teacher was my friend's Dad

I extended all the music from my short film DONKS, now it's also an album felixcolgrave.bandcamp.com/album/donks-...

Huge innovations in the cube space lately

Eating a vegetable: This is sensible. This is how plants should taste. This is grass and wood at its most edible Eating a fruit: This is a delicately crafted lure. Flesh engorged with sugar to attract me like a bird, to fill me up with seeds. A sexual organ. This is the reverse of the Jumanji plant

Glass House/House Fly

The USA does frightening alchemy to corn, makes it into battery acid or whatever, but at least they have corn. Australia is the USA with no corn. The British just rocked up and ignored every plant like "gee I hope we can make baked beans grow here or we're fucked"

"users quickly bypassed the AI's safeguards by prompting it to roleplay as"- ok so what I'm hearing again and again, is they've built a dumb guy in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. You just gotta run back into frame in a wedding dress and now the AI thinks you're getting married. Robots are now all Elmer Fudd

Worm Deprivation

Saw 1 episode of the new Alien show, and whatever, not really for me, BUT it's set 100 years in the future and in one scene some kids watch Ice Age 4?? People watch old movies of course, but not MOST old movies- and that has to be the funniest prediction as to what will stand the test of time

Hi these weren't shipping to the US for a while, but now they are again! You might not know it yet but this rat is your new favourite cartoon character. When I finish my rat cartoon you will say "wow I love this rat, I'm glad I had purchased Rat™ merchandise from wombot.studio/shop before seeing it"

Lovely Assistant

Just what I need! My old cubes are completely used up

In the 2010s Australian bands were all called "Bear and Fox" and all the street art was wistful paintings of stags and wolves. A celebration of nature, but a different nature, on the computer. Boreal yearning in the stomp clap colony. We didn't have the technology to romanticise emus

I can no longer play from memory any of the Bach or Debussy or whatever that I learnt as a child doing piano recitals, but I can still play the arrangement I transcribed of the music from the snowboard level in Zoombinis Mountain Rescue

Advertisers clamber over each other to quickly make ads in cool new styles while they're still associated with cool new things, and not associated ads. AI generated ads bravely buck that trend, by using the shit new style all consumers hate and associate with spam and propaganda

Wily Wyvern

On Tasmanian souvenirs you will see this motif of people, devils, teddies etc with 2 heads. It's never explicit, but the joke is: we are inbred! It's a cartoon congenital disorder. I have no idea how a tourist is meant to guess this, so I guess it's an in-joke, for Tasmanians to enjoy, in every shop

My best/worst one was years ago when I was high in the Gallery of NSW- so of course in the gift shop I bought one of those kids magic crystal garden growing kits. I put it on the counter and the cashier said "are you Felix Colgrave"

felixcolgrave.bandcamp.com/album/paper-... Hello! I've taken all of the music from my looping paper animations, and unfurled them into longer tracks. Go listen why don't ya!!!!!

Trial by Tile

After getting this spider beanie baby named "Godfrey" from a Chemist Warehouse discount bin, my 6 year old has been finding toy spiders and naming them "God Two", "God One", "God Zero", and mused this morning, "I'm thinking of having 100 Gods".

excellent choice sir. That will be one thousand dollars.

Body Surfin'

Getting kind of over microplastics, I barely feel them. Upgrading to macroplastics

The fact that the Australian Broadcasting Company gave all the merchandising rights for Bluey to the British Broadcasting Company, is maddening. It's the AUKUS deal of animation. With all that money, just think, Australia would be able to afford TWO cartoons

People exemplify characters like Hello Kitty + Labubu as peak capitalism because they exist solely for merch. 100% true, but the designs have to appeal on their own- Spiderman or Star Wars can move mountains of equally trash products, but uglier, where the only value is a reference. Kinda worse IMO

Gen AI sucks and would Miyazaki agree, yeah sure, BUT that quote about "an insult to life itself" is specifically about body horror being ableist. Someone procedurally made 3D bodies flail around and said "these could be zombies" and he said "that's really mean." A completely different valid take

Gut Flora

Hello, I may have a level of involvement in this! Including but not limited to the trunk pig

The English language used up all of its one-syllable words on livestock. Each animal can have like 5 names so you can specify age, sex and fertility in a single noise. That way you can discuss animal husbandry really quickly! For other topics, sorry, you're gonna have to use the LONG words

Australian winter: -no Christmas (that's in summer) -no summer holidays (that's at Christmas) -its just cold and nothing happens -do your tax return -you find out what the song of the summer is

Hey I've been working on a thing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSrO...

I did the sound+music for this! youtu.be/-7ZVJgmCF0o?...

The Underground

@felixcolgrave.bsky.social and I made this ECARD for Jib jab last year. I enjoyed animating the caterpillars gossiping, I'm sure this is exactly what working in an office is like. #2danimation #animation #retirement

Slices of Lives

The furthest back I can remember politically is the Howard era, which means every LNP leader I've ever seen has had a turn being PM. The party would've been insane to run him again, but I'm grateful to Dutton's electorate for tarring and feathering him and dropping him down a deep hole just in case

My child thinks this is how I procure birthday cakes #animation #cake #2danimation

Just noticed I typed March instead of May. Do not rely on me for up-to-date electoral information you will be 10 months late. I knew what I meant but actual dates and numbers are interchangeable. March and May are the same colour. If you drew a picture on your ballot I would count it based on vibes

In no way jealous of Canada having Trump say all that spooky shit at them, but if he happens to get any weird ideas about Australia then I'd appreciate he say them out loud before, I dunno, the third of March

Most I ever saw was when I was protesting outside a Milo Yiannopoulos talk and a bunch of counter-protestors turned up with Trump 2020 flags (yet didn't attend the talk?) I got pepper sprayed by a cop and went home to wash it out of my hair and it got on my balls and I had to dip my balls in yoghurt

Occasionally see MAGA hat guys about in Australia- which seems a very confused way to do nationalism- but haven't spotted one since the tariffs. I wonder, does the cost of stuff for Americans impact their opinion (how thoughtful), or does the Aus dollar value? Where, ideally, should be great again?
